"After the easy-to-expand Universal Serial Bus was quickly spread first by Apples iMac,
and shortly afterwards by Windows 98 systems, interest is now growing among users of
other platforms - at least that of Amiga users might be satisfied soon.
The TigerTronics team is developing a USB expansion board for all Amiga models with
Zorro expansion card, like the 3000 and 4000 series. It is labeled "Eriol", and will
offer two USB ports. Low and high speed USB devices will be supported. If more than
two devices are to be connected, standard USB hubs have to be used. To transmit data
quickly and keep system usage low, Eriol will access Amiga memory directly by DMA
transfer."
