Amiga Rapid Roads USB Devices

[Pior]

I was wondering on the Rapid Road USB if I can use a PC USB external floppy drive and if it would recognize it as DF1:, 2: or 3:. And is there anything I would have to do to have recognize it or set it up to use it.

Also is there a list of devices that can be used on the Rapid Road USB?. and how to set them up to make them work. I got the USB CD Rom and mouse working so far..

Good question! I’ll give a usb floppy drive a try tonight and report back.

do a search for Poseidon compatible devices as that’s the usb stack that rapid road uses. There’s a list on A1K

Why it should recognize it as a DFx drive? PC drives work differently than Amigas, therefore bigger chances to recognize it as PC0: for example to read PC-DOS formatted disks (from DOSDrivers). Other than that, Rapid Road USB uses the Trident USB stack, so you can read the manual for more information.

Thanks that would be great . What is the A1K list?

If you have cross Dos probably it will see as a 720kb Dos Disk (if the USB stack have the driver for a Disk Drive)
