Linux/Mac software for USB Floppy Emulator

[Nilquader]

Hi,

i've just looked at the sources for the USB Floppy Emulator software and found some linux code. Is this already a usable version of ths image loader software for linux? Has anyone tried to use the floppy emulator software on linux? Does it support all types of floppy image files? (CPC6128/DSK will be the most important for me, of course!)

Are there any attemps on porting this software to Linux (or evenMac OS)?

Thanks,
Nilquader

Even more interesting: Is somebody able to port the software and driver to GP2X-Linux?

This an alpha version and it supports the same formats as the windows version (main code are the same for all versions).
It's working, but it's a command line only version.

Question....someone is going to port the software to ARM-Linux. But it seems there are some precompiled libs (like libftd2xx.a.0.4.13) which need to be replaced with ARM-compatible versions. OK, the CAPS stuff is something we are going to skip, but can you give us the needed informations for porting to ARM9? And: is USB 1.1 fast enough?

libftd2xx.a.0.4.13 is the ftdi library/driver and unfortunely there are no source available.

there are an open source ftdi library, but i need to do some modifications to use it: http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/

, but i need to do some modifications to use it

Typo? Or are you really going to change it to that lib? That would be great

I am actually organizing a new batch of PCB/CPLD-Kits.

yes i need to change the lib.

For the new batch you can make an announcement in a new thread.
