AROS: Icaros Desktop 1.1.3 / Live-DVD (Update)
For the AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop there is now available an official update which includes the USB-stack Poseidon (amiga-news.de reported). This should work with about 80 percent of all PC-systems with USB-1.1- or -2.0-controllers.
Please note that most of the mouses, keyboards as well as USB-sticks and memory cards with FAT- or SFS-file systems can be used but some of the devices cannot because of missing libraries and system components in AROS.
Update: (16:53, 02.08.09, snx)
Since today there is a Live-DVD of the AROS-distribution available.
