Thylacine Zorro USB 1.1 card available again

Smiley · 22 November 2006, 16:03

Just received an email from the guy who has taken over the Thylacine operation.

"Hi,

Just a follow up email. Scott of boing is not dealing with thylacine anymore. So I am taking over completely. There was some problems with the shopping cart before.
If you want to purchase, my website is http://home.iprimus.com.au/loofy

Regards,
Robert"

Its all working again and the Thylacine card costs $90(+GST)+S&H AUD or $117(+GST)+S&H AUD including the posiedon stack

Damn that is a good price.

£33 for a Zorro USB card.

Does that also include the Poseidon USB stack or is that extra?

Even though the transfer rates figures are slow (well below the 12Mbit USB 1.1 bandwidth) this looks like good value for money.

Smiley · 22 November 2006, 17:47

Just checked and I was looking at the old website front.

New Prices:

Thylacine AUD$90(+GST)+S&H

Thylacine USB Card with Poseidon Keyfile - AUD$117.27(+GST)+S&H

Edited first post

Ah, that explains it. Probably coming close to the £60 mark including delivery to the UK

How about registering poseidon, is it possible for us, poor ppl without MOS capable machines?? I have A4000 with CS-MK2 and it will be really nice card for it.

Got thylacine yesterday

ive just tested two mices and cheap chinese hub

logitech wheel mouse works perfect!
microsoft mouse hangs stack completely
hub isnt detected at all
flashdrive is properly recognized, but i dont know how to mount it or whatever.

alexh · 26 January 2007, 15:53

I remember reading a problem with bus powered HUBS and Amiga's while ago.

I mentioned it over on Amiga.org with regards to another USB product and Michael Boehmer instantly contacted me to say that there was never an issue with E3B products.

Perhaps the problems I read about a long time ago were for the thylacine?

keropi · 26 January 2007, 16:35

better avoid bus-powered hubs, it is not healthy.
e3b products work OK, but on recommendations it is written to use external powered ones...

Chain · 28 January 2007, 20:28

I know its a cheap card, and i just want to experiment with it

better hub (i will buy Belkin) will work i think

jabsy · 30 January 2007, 12:50

Is there any reason why this card only has one USB port on it???

alexh · 30 January 2007, 13:14

Cos it does? (i.e. maybe it doesnt have a port mux built in)

What USB stack are you using- Sirion or Poseidon?

Chain · 01 February 2007, 07:33

Im using sirion at this moment, as i found only poseindon 2 on aminet. Poseidon complains about some errors and its really unstable. and SD reader isnt usable with it at all

) so who needs it.

Ive found compatible ethernet adapter already on ebay,
epson scanner will be next purchase

keropi · 01 February 2007, 07:46

@chain:

what usb->lan adapter u got? post a link!

DrBong · 01 February 2007, 08:00

Poseidon 2?? It is up to V3.x these days and you can d/l the demo version off Chris Hodges' website:

http://www.platon42.de/poseidon.html

You can even register Poseidon again for Thylacine if you think it's worth the money:

http://platon42.de/poseidonreg.html

Obviously Sirion is bundled with the Thylacine card and the package comes at a very good price, but support for USB devices looks to be limited (if you look at the Thylacine website) and it hasn't been updated for quite some time (and won't be anytime soon according to the author). That's why you probably didn't have much luck with the devices you tried initially.

Still, if you're managing to find devices that work with Sirion that aren't listed on the Thylacine website, then tell us (and Robert Tsien) about them. I'd be interested to know as I have a Thylacine card too, but haven't installed it yet.

keropi · 01 February 2007, 08:10

any chance of a screenshot of Sirion? never heared of it...!
