ANAIIS, acronym for Another Native Amiga IO Interface Stack, is a quick
and dirty software solution that brings the possibilities of the Universal
Serial Bus (USB) to the basic Amiga 2000, with 68000 at 7.14Mhz, and the
ZorroII card Highway from E3B.
Yes you have read it: 68000, not 68020 or higher, with at minimum Kickstart 1.3
or higher.
On better configuration, it may works, but you should prefer Poseidon.
In this case you must shut down Poseidon and try ANAIIS at you own risk.
ANAIIS, Another acronym with hidden parts:
Native because it was all written in C.
Amiga because this computer worth this kind of program.
Input because it works for mice and keyboards.
Interface because Intuition.
Stack because this kind of program is called like that.
ANAIIS controls:
- hub (not all hubs)
- mice
- keyboard
- printer
A little interface is given to control the stack. You can also control it
via CLI commands:
usbstart, usbreset, usbstop.
You can send files to printer with usbprint command.
You must keep original mice and keyboard, ANAIIS is not yet resident and
doesn't survive at boot time.
A lot of games will certainly not work.
Tested with success with Brilliance, Deluxe Paint, Ced, and perhaps all applications under Intuition.
