SUBWAY USB CONTROLLER (A1200 Clockport)

CFou! · 13 June 2006, 22:53

hi ,

I want buy a SUBWAY USB CONTROLLER (A1200 Clockport)
to use a 2go Flash card on a1200.

What is the max memory size for usb flash card supported by Subway usb controler?

thanks in advance

I would imagine that it depends on what filesystem you put on the card.

If you are going to use it between the Amiga and the PC you'll probably format it Fat or Fat32 which probably limits it with the current drivers for the Amiga to 137Gbytes.

If there is any limit OTHER than the filesystem, it will be with the USB stack, Poseidon, and it's Mass Storage Class. But I doubt such a limit exists.

This is just a guess.

perhaps when my subway arrives I can test it... let me know if you still don't know sometime next week I suppose...

Hi CFOU! I've recently bought a Subway controller & it's
great

I use a Jump drive (128MB) which also accepts SD camera cards. 1GB card
works fine. I also have an 80GB 2.5 Western Digital Drive
attached. No probs. Poseidon comes with the Fat95 filesystem
as a contribution. I've also borrowed various MP3 players with
mixed results. I also use PGDIGCAM from Aminet for my camera.

Cheers

I got mine straight from E3B...

the subway is a great card! the algor pro was even better, but i just sold mine. i still have the subway in my a1200, and i use it with an external harddisk which works perfectly fine.

good choice, cfou!

I know I was watching it. How much did it go for?.

ungi · 15 June 2006, 01:38

i sold the algor pro for 120. i know, a steep price, but the card is worth it.

What is maximal loading rate using flash card or HD via usb port (speed must be limited by amiga clock port)?

keropi · 15 June 2006, 09:38

I guess 1MB/sec ???? usb1 specs...?

I have received my subway boad and have installed it.

It's seems on my 030 + poseidon software loading rate on Flash card is about 150ko/second as for CDrom x1

is it normal Speed for You?

I have also a conflict between some many whdload's games and poseidon (using kick1.3 mainly). it seems poseidon caus interupt problem and games freeze in general on black screen (but i can exit)...

But if poseidon are not loaded all games work fine

have somebody same problem???

keropi · 18 June 2006, 02:57

really CFOU??? this is a shock to me, as my subway is on it´s way.... I´ll test it also, perhaps not all systems are affected... please tell a couple of problematic games so I can test them when the subway arrives...

cooldude · 18 June 2006, 06:33

Yes!....Poseidon seems to conflict with some WHDLoad games.

When I use the NOMMU option I get the black screen & have to reset.

Cavemania is an example. All I do is run the Poseidon stack when I

need it. (Not in the startup-sequence)

Cheers
