Care yto explain just what the hell you are on about?
USB is USB.
There is no "PC-USB".
There is USB and USB2.0, but no "PC-USB".
Blimey, you have to wonder where all these trolls come from at times.
*sigh*

Not really, at least not with this particular troll. It's Shawn, the "bus arch" troll, a.k.a. "amigatheone", a.k.a. "no, I'm not shawn, but I agree with him".
Apparently he's found a new delusion about USB to blather on and on about. I guess USB was invented by Dave Haynie exlusively for NASA to run on their SGI boxen with AmigaOS 1.3b, and the USB standard we see today is a conspiracy from Amiga Inc. to force us poor, unenlightened consumers to buy "pc's" with that devious "bus arch".
The lunatic seems to have his own Amiga dealership: http://www.amigaone.f2s.com ( http://www.amigaone.f2s.com/editorals.html is particularly amusing.)
Please disregard anything emanating from his IP.

It's a shame it (the Zorro thing) won't support high-speed USB. Is Zorro really slower than some serial bus?
I wonder what you could use the 26poliger Erweiterungsport for, too. I hope it's fully AutoConfig and that the 26poliger Erweiterungsport is not just a config jumper block. ;-)

Zorro II is rather slow, and the market won't support Zorro III-only cards.

IIRC USB 2.0 is specced with a max. of 60MB/s (480MBit/s) - no way to ever get this even with Zorro 3, let alone Zorro 2. Serial bus or not - Zorro is far older than a decade now ...

USB at last - and on a Zorro card too! That's made my day - simple things eh? :-)
Look forward to seeing it on sale.

I'd simply like to get my Visor PDA to link up to my A3000 via Spitfire2 (which
IMHO is an excellent proggy in it's own write), and make use of the attached
MiniJAM MP3 player that is contactable only via USB. Now that's worth having
