NetUSBee TOS driver

[Dew-It]

I'd be willing to beta test the driver on my 1040STe. Just waiting on the delivery of my Netusbee.

This is so important. You should start taking donations.
Also will it work with recently released Geneva and NeoDesk?

I'll call for beta testers in the next few days. Hopefully someone can test.

I'll be more then happy to test

The beta driver is ready! Send me a private message if you wish to test it. If you already showed interest in testing, you don't need to, I'll send it to you.

What you need:
NetUSBee with USB ports.

What to expect:
USB mass storage working on Atari ST, Atari Falcon 030, CT60/CT63 Falcon (use without USB accessory), TT (not tested).
TOS and EmuTOS working. MagiC not working. TOS 1.04 may be minimum required.
Support for powered USB hub (optional, you can directly hook your USB device in the NetUSBee).
Hot-plugging, you can insert and remove devices when the USB accessory is installed.

Your USB key should work like a hard disk drive. Search or ask the forum if you have questions about partitioning, BigDOS, using hard disk utilities, etc.
Speed: 68000: 32 kB/S, 68030, 113 kB/S, 060, 400-500 kB/S. These should be improved later.

There is also a mouse driver, but my USB mice don't work with it or crash.

Great!!!
I'm looking forward seeing the code, this driver not working reliable got me so frustrated, I'm really curious to see how you have fixed it.

It was all about the chip delays, the 300ns and 150ns, and a few other changes that may not be relevant. It looks like you just fixed it for FreeMint, when you started to use UDELAY. Later, I can set up FreeMint and test it. For TOS, I could not use the Freemint delay function, Roger suggested I use the EmuTOS delay routines, which he explained to me and I implemented.

I need to clean up my code, after I can send it to you, it should work with FreeMint too, maybe you can then commit it.

Beta testers report the driver working well on ST, Falcon 030, TT and Falcon CT63. The driver should be made public soon.

USB storage transfer rates according to Xferrate:
ST: 31 kb/s
Falcon: 110 kb/s
TT: 150 kb/s
Falcon CT63: 300 kb/s

The ST speed should be improved later. There may be a glitch on the CT63 where hot-plugging doesn't work and USB.ACC must be disabled. To be investigated later.

TOS and EmuTOS supported for mass storage. Next step, MagiC, if I can.

My NetUSBee can not wait ...

Mine's only been waiting nearly a decade for this day

That's really fantastic news can't wait for it either...
