Elbox is pleased to inform that development of the USB EHCI High-Speed driver for the Spider USB 2.0 card for Mediator busboards has been completed. The new Spider EHCI driver provides all three USB speeds: High-Speed, Full-Speed and Low-Speed.
Up to now the EHCI controller (the main part of the Spider USB 2.0
controller) was not activated. The Spider cards worked as two independent
OHCI (USB 1.1) controllers with 5 USB ports. Now you can take advantage
of the EHCI (USB 2.0) and two OHCI (USB 1.1) controllers included in
the Spider board.
The first public demonstration of the Spider USB 2.0 PCI card working
in the Mediator system in the High-Speed (USB 2.0) mode will have place
in the AMIGA+RETRO Computing 2002 show in Aachen on 07 December 2002.
During the show, Spider USB 2.0 PCI cards will be available for purchase,
exclusively at the Vesalia Computer stand. Contact Vesalia before the show
to make sure the Spider USB 2.0 cards will not run out of the show stock
before you have one for yourself.
Spider USB 2.0, the fastest and most advanced USB solution for Amiga
computers, will be presented with various USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices
like USB HDD, USB ZIP, USB CD, USB card reader/writer, USB keyboard
and USB mice. Spider USB 2.0 will be working in the PCI slot of
the Mediator PCI 1200 SX.
All the registered Spider USB 2.0 High-Speed card users will receive the
new Spider EHCI driver as a FREE software update just after the
AMIGA+RETRO Computing 2002 show.
