Probably the silliest question ever

Is it in any way possible to use a USB Flash disk on an Amiga 1200?

alkis21 · 01 January 2005, 12:55

Ok, Stainy pointed me here:

This thingy claims to give the Amiga a USB port!
But will it work with my flash disk? Where would I find the drivers? All the USB drivers I found on Aminet weren't for A1200.

Drivers come bundled with the card (USB Stack POSEIDON) and it should work with ANY mass storage device

Or else go for : http://www.elbox.com/products/spider_usb_20_pci.html

Haven´t tried it yet though ...

But you need a Mediator Board for that

Yes, and you have to buy Poseidon, too. The Subway comes with an OEM version of Poseidon, the Spider comes without any drivers.

My Amiga now has a USB port!!!!!!!!!!
That's right people.. I bought SUBWAY and now I can plug my flash disk into the Amiga!

No more formatting crappy 720K MS-DOS disks! Transferring files has never been easier! :P
I just finished backing up my entire hard disk! I'm so happy!

@alkis:

You could also get a cheap pcmcia network card and mount network shares residing on other computers of yours. A very convenient way of sharing files imho.

heh, is it just me or is that 1200 really really dirty. :P

Vromiari 1200

Yes, I helped Alkis installing this and you just reminded me I didn't wash my hands afterwards!

BTW, neat device. A must-have if you have an Amiga with a clockport.

keropi · 22 November 2005, 09:24

really? is it that good? should I consider one?

alkis21 · 22 November 2005, 09:42

Well, it's a must-have in my opinion but it's not cheap. I bought it for 85 Euros.

keropi · 22 November 2005, 10:09

lol, cheap and amiga hardware don't mix...

Bamiga2002 · 22 November 2005, 14:49

Got that right
