The USB floppy, serial and audio devices would be of some use. Not sure how hard it would be to write drivers for them though.

4) usb on the go (OTG) lots of devices fall under this
USB OTG is a standard for letting USB devices communicate directly with each other instead of requiring a computer. So, it's not something we need drivers for. Quote:
5) usb printer A MUST
We already have a usbprinter.device. The problem is, each printer model still requires their own driver on top. I'm planning on writing one for the Epson Stylus C8X series (because I have one) when the new OS4 SDK is released. Quote:
I'm currently working on FTDI drivers. The FT232 serial chip is one of the most popular, and has been embedded into a LOT of devices.
I signed an NDA and got the documents from FTDI. I've only been delayed while I finished a hardware project that I wrapped up two weeks ago.
Yes, I realize that the serial port is getting old, but I have a lot of serial toys, and I'd like the idea of having as many as I want off of a USB Hub.
The USB MIDI driver has been quite successful so far, so I'm working off of that for the FTDI driver.
I hope to get the USB side worked out first, then go looking for example OS4 device code for that half of it.
It won't be long until I'll be asking for help, I'm sure.

So how is this project going?
For I have finished one driver my self and another one is 95% finished... I'm thinking on doing the EHCD driver next, so we can finaly get isochronous support. But that is a big order not sure I have the courage to take that on.
(Just a dev site, still haven't found someone to run an actual site yet)
WTF?
I though Troels/amigabounty.net would use you fantastic work at once? At least Troels once wrote in a mail to me, that you're working on a bounty system which they plan to use..
Or whats exactly the problem?
Of course, such things definitely belong to a bounty site! I would probably write far more drivers if i would get some bucks for ;)

ok.. just wrote him a mail offering my help with www.amigabounty.net .. i honestly think we finally need a central bounty site as there are more and more really good project suggestions.. of course, as much bullshit ;)
And it would be a real pitty if your system wouldn't be used!
let's see what he thinks about it.. i hope Troels and myself can work something out which will help all amigans..
BTW: i have some more suggestions for liquorice.. will write them in the liquorice thread..

ptp i would need for sure. i bought a Canon Ixus 75 camera to my mother and discovered it didnt work when connect to usb on my a1. So no masstorage support like my mobilephone. Damnit :) I hope you fix the ptp
This was the first I heard of MTP... but reading about it.. it seams that it not that far from PTP, so I don't think its that hard to do... but I really need a device that uses it first, I'm saying that without having looked at the specs but I read MS had applied for usb approval so I don't think this will be any problem.
It may even improve my PTP driver for MTP claimed to be command compatibe so I hope to get better documentation than the ptp specs had.

Sounds good Have a look if it is possible or not, and when you want to start, tell us and we will see how to get a suited device in your hands.
