For sale : Subway clockport USB

[AmigaClassicRule]

Good luck with that one.
 
As ChaosLord said, it really produces a tremendous amount of overhead.
I don't think they made it purposely so, btw. The sad truth is that 9 out of 10 hardware/software engineers are vastly incompetent. Been that way ever since computers went past the 1GHz barrier (perhaps even a bit earlier)
 
Lastly. Your statement about the C64 made me choke a little.
The C64 is incredibly versatile. More so with the current wave of new hardware (can you say Chameleon?)

 
Chameleon is only one major hardware upgrade and as I am aware of it, it is simply another means of replacing the original disk drive, making transfer of games easier to it and being a stand alone commodore 64.
 
However, major and many different hardware upgrades such as increase of RAM, provide upgrade to the sound and graphics and other upgrades are not as versatile as the Amiga is. Maybe there is no need for it in C64 as there will be no software ever developed for it...but then again it lacks in many hardware upgrade as Amiga does. With classic Amiga if I wish to enjoy using it for more than what Commodore Inc Intended for...I have this option and there is benefit in return because I can enjoy the media of it more than say C64. If I wanted to watch movies in C64 for example I cannot and will never be able to...and if classic Amiga cannot provide that to me (with your argument) at least there is a PPC version of it such as AmigaOS 4 for example, MorphOS or even AROS...heck even WinUAE.
 
But then again you guys are working hard to convince me otherwise, why? This is all just my opinion on the matter and I love hearing your counter opinion which is what you are doing and I appreciate your input on it:). But this is just what I think on the matter and nothing else.
 
Perhaps USB on classic Amiga is slow, but maybe I can get something out of it on a 68060 at least.

Yes you can use USB on a stock A2000 using the PD stack, you can add a ZII Clockport for 50 something. There are Clockport adapters on Amigakit. You can wait for an inexpensive Thylacine card or buy one that pops up so often. The Subway is really meant for the A1200.  There are Algor and Highway cards out there. The Deneb is pure genius.

As to the need or usefulness of USB on an Amiga, you will always hear the squeaky wheel; nothing is ever right with them, they will complain about anything and everything to appear smart or clever.

In the new year will be looking at subway usb, but will be looking at selling/swapping my indi ecs

Anyways. Perhaps it's time to think about a new set of rules for the marketplace. Something similar to what Amibay does (e. g. "don't ask, don't tell"), but solely restricted to the marketplace.

NO! Don't copy Amibay marketplace rules, there you can't rant about prices like you can here . It's just discussion you know. And I like the "Freedom of speech" statement

[Bamiga2002]

But it is true though isn't it? I mean if there is a handful amount of item left and there is a huge or great demand and no one is making them anymore...the price will go up. It is a fact, not greed.

The price will go up ONLY if the seller(s) decide to PUT them up. Simple isn't it? But we all do have a different perspection on these matters. But it's always interesting to debate and rant about them!

Haha I am lucky enough to have a good one who understands my computer interest, but we have had a quite big chunk of recent expenses, married 3 months ago, honeymoon 3 weeks ago and I spent a lot on PC parts recently. So I'll take it easy until Xmas is over at least

2 issues:

#1:  B2000 has no clockport (unless you have a Zorro card like the Buddha IDE controller that adds one).
#2:  The USB stack requires a 68020 or greater, so you'll need a CPU card.  However, there is another USB stack that will work on a 68000, but is extremely limited in terms of speed and drivers.

I agree with the limitation in term of speed, but not agree for the numbers of drivers: ANAIIS is nearly 95% compatible with the Sirion API. So if a driver exists for AmigaOS4.x, it can be used with ANAIIS... if you compile it for 3.x. ANAIIS is able to manage hubs, mouse, keyboard, HID (joysticks, keyboards with special keys, mouse with extra buttons), printers, camera (not webcam, but outdated things for taking still pictures), massstorage, iPhone and iPad. What else ?

There are plenty of forums for discussion of prices, general negativity, and other observations. You can not sell an item being "trolled to death" by others. Let the seller and buyer use this forum for Selling and Buying

Yep, I read somewhere recently that the latest Whdload no longer conflicts with the Poseidon stack.
