USB devices that work with OS4.1 FE

Competition PRO Gold USB is recognized by USB-Inspector, but not as joystick so it doesn´t appear in Inputprefs to configure it under USB-Units.

One more keyboard to put on the list. It uses 2.4ghz RF and small nano usb :)

Wireless Solar Keyboard K750

thanks..it's in as 'Logitech Wireless Keyboard K750'

Put on the list... Olympus E 500 DSLR digital camera is working on OS4.1 upd 2... masstorage device..

and one Soyntec (85 in 1 ) card reader..

Put the mobilephone "HTC Desire S" on the list, SD Card mounting as masstorage device :)

Samsung DVD burner SE-S084F External USB,Slimline 8xR/RW is working.
Ripped a cd with it :)

I've actually never tried any USB masstorage device that didn't work in my A1-XE. But writing doesn't work though due to the long standing bugs in CrashDOS and the USB itself of course. But they are all detected and works fine otherwise:

Kingston Datatraveler 16GB
Sandisk Cruzer micro 8GB
Denver 1GB MP3 player
Casio Exilim 7Mpix camera
Samsung S8000 Jet phone (both built-in and memory card)
Sandisk ImageMate All-in-one card reader
Trust micro non-powered USB hub.

Ok, just tried one device that didn't work:
Navigon Live GPS unit with a masstorage interface. It said read error on some block and dismounted itself.

thanks guys..list updated today

Today I came across another USB stick that might fall into the untrustworthy category. It is a generic USB stick issued under the brand name of a large grocery store chain called Safeway. I do not know who manufactures this USB stick. OS4.1 Update 2 detected it as a 2 GB USB stick. I tried to use it to back up files, the transfer froze part way through. Now it is permanently in an "uninitialized" state.

Now that it is toast, Media Toolbox claims that this USB stick is a "ChipsBnk Flash Disk" of total disk size of 8 MB. Confirmed as 8 MB by 3 Windows PCs.

I cannot format this USB stick on any of our Windows PCs or the MicroA1. I am assuming it is now permanently toasted.

Unfortunately, I did not try this USB stick on the Windows PCs before I tried to back up my files on the MicroA1, so I do not know if it worked in a Windows environment before it encountered OS4.

@ redfox

thanks for posting your findings but I think it's safe to say we keep it off the 'devices that work with OS4.1 Update 2' list for now

These devices work for me:

Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ100 MassStorage reading (writing untested).
HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-one MassStorage reading (writing untested).

Note: Printing from some programs on the HP C6180 is a problem but
I don't think it's a USB or printer issue.

@ xenic & redfox

thanks for your input guys...list updated

"Logitech Wireless Desktop MK320". Tried only the mouse as thei left the keyboard in Croatia. As they both share the same usb receiver im 101% the keyboard also works. So you can put this on the list as working.

Tried also "MS Industrial cordless mouse Rock" and it works fine.

Working devices on my Sam Flex are:

- Keyboard and mouse from Logitech
- USB stick Transcend (2GB)
- Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 gamepads using XTreme adaptors

list updated

- Kingston DataTraveler 4GB G3.
- Jessops Card Reader USB 2.0 (only with Simm until 2GB with more capacity this reader doesn't work).
- LITE-ON External DVD/CD Rewritable drive model SHW-1635SU or
EZ-DUB.
- Integral 4GB (USB drive with this mark/company).
- Optical mouse wireless Trust.

list updated & I guess it's finally time we start seeing stuff that work with Update 3 via USB2.0

Can someone confirmm if any Seagate externa HD work?

I found this: Extern harddisk Seagate® FreeAgent GoFlex. I was looking for a 500GB disk. Is that the same thing that didn't work in the 250GB version?

@Deniil

I've only tested a external TrekStor multimedia 500 GB HDD and a new external Hitachi 500 GB HDD. Both works perfect with update 3.
But I don't have a external Seagate HDD

It looks like USB hubs don't work properly (or at all) with Update 3... at least for me, for keyboard & mice.
