Re: Apple2 USB Stick interface with Vinculum chip By: RedskullDC to comp.sys.apple2 on Thu Apr 26 2007 02:46 pm > http://au.geocities.com/redskulldc/a2usb_sm.jpg (small 154K) > Any comments/suggestions? My only sugestion would be the orientation of the interface. If someone was planning to leave a USB drive in the card all the time, it wouldn't fit. Are you expecting to use an extension cable with it, so that it can be used externally? .s
I would expect it just a prototype and the current orientation is to allow the ease of insertion and removal for testing.
For a production run there are a few issues to consider when it comes to the type and oriention of the USB conenctor. Same type of issues I had to think through for Uthernet.
Using a usb mini-a connector and an extension cable would be one way to go ...
