Re: USB for the Apple II



Willi:
Granted teh web may not be up to date, but Jeri seems legit. According to recent posts elsewhere, Jeri has just ordered the USB controller. The specifications sheet that allow it to communicate do not look very complex, it looks a lot like a SCSI bus controller.

As for the drivers, we'll have to wait and see. Don't expect too much, some of the devices mentioned in this thread require a substantial data rate to function.

Personal wish list for USB capability:
	Mouse
	1.44 Floppy
	Iomega 250 Zip drive
	Memory storage 'keychains'
	Memory card readers

Thankx,
Ed

Hi, y'all!

    I found the following on the www.a2central.com site: "Jeri
Ellsworth, the creator of the C-One configurable computer, is working
on a design for a USB interface card for the Apple II.".  A quick
check of the C-One site shows that that project has been in limbo for
the past two months.  Sorry, folks, I'm really skeptical about this.
