Micro USB?

[+Larry]

Did the micro USB project die out or go on hiatus or maybe morph into something else? I got one of the USB carts, but never got any device to work with it. Haven't heard anything about it for a long, long time.

USB interfacing, beyond simple stuff like mice, etc., is a real complex and software-intensive affair. It's not well suited to the platform. It's hard, to put it more simply.

Very true, but did the project die?

The men behind the micro usb project are the same as the developers of the SIO2USB project - the regional group RAF from ABBUC. The SIO2USB project is in the final phase and the developers give all their power in this project at the moment. Releasing date of the SIO2USB is the 27th of october (date of the abbuc annual meeting 'jhv'). I think they have to assemble more than 60 devices till this date.

 

After releasing it, there will be more time probably for micro usb project!?

Hello guys and girls

 

Probably over 80. I talked to them at the Fujiama 2007 and they had more then 70 pre-orders already.

 

The micro USB site and the Atari Wiki are being moved to a different server IIRC, so information will reappear on the net. But as far as I know, there is no fixed date as far as I know.

 

Greetings
