Cheap Solution for USB with mediator LT4?

[Bamiga2002]

...If you do track down a hacked card then you also have to find the older drivers for it, because the new Mediator drivers won't work.

This isn't true, the hacked cards DO work with newest spider.device.

Do you know where i can these files and what software do i use to set it up?

[carvedeye]

I have e-mailed elbox to see if i can get the spider.device sent to me but to no avail, is there other ways of obtaining it

Ok i have everything installed and working i have tried my TDK USB flash drive and it pops up saying it is detected but how do i get it to show up on my workbench screen?

I have also tried my HP wireless mouse and it works perfectly, i am able to use my 2 gb flash drive as my TDK is 8 gb which im guessing that is why it doesnt pop up on my workbench screen, i have to say USB cards on the amiga are fantastic thanks to everyone who helped and an even bigger thank you to Lurch for giving me the card i really appreciate it mate

I have two 8GB USB flash sticks.  One works fantastically, it's a really cheap sandisk or something (can't recall, one of those black ones with the white button/switch to make it come out.)  And the other one... it's a USB 3.0 one, that is based around NAND flash.  Really nice, but the Amiga doesn't want to read it for some reason.  

But I do know that an 8GB one should work.

Re-formatted it to fat32 and it now works a treat

i have plugged in a trident USB joypad and it is recognised but how do i use it to play games?

No problem, just glad to help a fellow Amigian out :-) USB is great, only downside is WHDLoad doesn't like it so you have to disable the USB stack before starting WHDLoad.

Which is pretty easy to do now that WHDLoad has the line for the posiden stack. Just need to edit Whdload.prefs and enable te startup/cleanup files and then enable the posiden lines in those :-)

Anyway enjoy :-)

The gamepad will be an issue.  Non-WHDload games will be a problem as well as they "bang the hardware," or were written for the mouse port.  Newer games might work, but dont hold your breath.

Hmmmm - I should have an old Spider II USB2.0 from Elbox lying around somewhere...
