emulatorII-list

Absolutely smashing news !

A USB-storage device would be supercool.

I recently bought the strangely named Ultrasatan for my Atari and believe 
me, once configured and up and running is a joy to have. No more noisy 
harddrive........( Anyone wants a Megafile 30 ? )

Subject: [emulatorII-list] RS422 between Emulator II and Windows PC


> Perhaps some of you may know already that the RS422 project has made a big 
> step forward last week.
> Based on a prototype device created by Julian from the Yahoo Emax Group, I 
> succeeded in transferring sound banks between the Emax and my Windows PC

>
> I have tested this custom built RS422<-->USB device now also with the

> I'm able now to upload SD for EII files from my Windows PC directly to the 
> EII, and of course also to unload banks from the EII towards the PC.
>
> The transfer time is currently about 20 seconds (as opposed to 13 with the 
> Mac) but I'll try to further optimize this.

> Julian is now upgrading the device in order to remove the "prototype" 
> label of it: adding proper connectors, safety circuits, a nice little 
> case, a led, and so on. After this has been done, the device (and/or its 
> schematics) will be available to everyone I guess.
>
> EMXP will of course be upgraded also in order to support the Emax and 
> Emulator II file transfers.

> We also have already a rough and wild idea about developing a stand-alone 
> version of this device: a little box which can be connected to the RS422 
> port of the EII and which can hold a USB memory stick for reading/writing 
> soundbanks, without any PC hooked up to the EII. But we are not working on
