Alternate USB cards - A1

What (if any) USB PCI cards are supported on A1XE (to be specific) under OS4 ?
What (if anything) do I need to do to use a USB PCI card through the default stack, and will it support 2.0 ?

My guess (worst case) is that it would require a new .device perhaps...

I purchased a Koutech 5 port USB 2.0 PCI card. The AmigaOne at the UBoot level does not recognize it. AmigaOS4 does not recognize it. I would guess that either USB 2.0 devices have no support at the firmware or software levels, or the chipset on the Koutech PCI card is not supported (or both).

The current USB driver only supports the USB chip on the A1 motherboard. If you can find a card with the same chip, it should work. You wont get USB2.0 compatibility, the driver doesn't support it.

That's all due to change in the future I suspect.

USB2 is not supported. IIRC all UHCI(?) compliant PCI cards (USB 1.1) should automatically work.

Try to find a card that uses VIA. I've had absolutely no problem with mine.
