Re: SmartportVHD/USB compatibility test report



Ok :)

I listed all requests until today on comp.sys.apple2, and I will contact each of you individually, when details will be finalized.

I planed a small batch of ten boards by the end of may 2011, but more boards are requested, wich is good for saving some bucks :)

For more requests, please contact me directly with 'Smartport' as subject, and I will add you on the requester list.

Hi all !

Good news, the SmartportVHD/USB successfully passed compatibility tests
on the following hardware combinations:

Computer: Apple //c ROM 3.5
Operating system: Prodos 8
Devices combinations:
+ SpVHD
+ SpVHD + Disk //c
+ SpVHD + Unidisk 3.5
+ SpVHD + Unidisk 3.5 + Disk //c (could exceed the Apple 2c power specs)
+ Unidisk 3.5 + SpVHD + Disk //c (could exceed the Apple 2c power specs)

Computer: Apple IIgs ROM 03, with and without IIgs MicroDrive
Operating system: Prodos 8, GS/OS 6 without additional driver
Devices combinations:
+ SpVHD
+ SpVHD + Unidisk 5.25
+ Apple 3.5 + SpVHD

Others combinations are not tested yet, but should work as well until
smartport's rules are followed (wich raise some practical issues
concerning the boot device if the board is hosted within a floppy drive)
Apple IIe/Liron and Apple //c+ are not tested.

The full presentation of the project will be done during upcoming weeks,
including final cost.
