A1200 Clockport USB Question
« on: April 03, 2005, 03:12:04 PM »
I was eyeing the clockport based USB adapters for my A1200 and had a question about em from someone who might have used one:

Does the USB work only in Workbench, ie, when a driver loads up or will it support normal NDOS disk booted games?

The clockbased USB Adapter is the  Subway USB interface.

It works by loading the USB stack which is AmigaOS system friendly so therefore will not work with custom environments used by Non-Dos disk games.

The Subway is in stock now.  Any queries please get in touch :-)

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but is there any available that is Amiga hardware native?  I was trying to put my 1200 on a switchbox, but if I have to have another mouse and keyboard to play games it defeats the purpose.

@icbrkr

You can get PS/2 adapters such as the Ravanche RAKA and RAMA.  Then, if your KVM switch only supports USB, use a PS/2 to USB adapter.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(
