USB v2.0 Support Added To NetBSD 13
hubertf writes: "There's news over at the NetBSD web site that
Lennart Augustsson has added support for USB v2.0 devices into NetBSD-current. The new ehci
driver is still in
development but is in a working state for some mass storage
devices, such as CD-RW drives. USB v2.0 offers a vast speed
improvement (480Mb/s instead of 12Mb/s) over the original USB
specification, and retains a good level of compatibility.
For more details, see Lennart's
announcement on current-users@netbsd.org."

One day I was browsing the personals with my Colecovision ADAM fully loaded with NetBSD. One afternoon, after I finished porting ruby to the PDP-11, I was browsing the personals with lynx.
I found a hot chick who's only computer was a NeXT cube with that horrible operating system. I went over to her place and put NetBSD on the cube. That got her all hot & bothered, so I put away my cd-case and lubed up all of her serial I/O ports. It was great.
And talk about stability. While all this was going on, my online store sold $32767 worth of stuff. The colecovision can handle Apache and MySQL with no problems at all, not even a single buffer overflow.
I am a proud Canadian and a proud *BSD user.
