USB-Adapter for input devices: Ryś
In June, first information was provided, now it is official: The USB-adapter Ryś made in Poland is supposed to make it possible to use an USB-mouse, an USB-joystick and USB-joypad with an Amiga - without having to install additional drivers.
Ryś includes a 16-Bit micro-controller which interpretes signals of connected USB-HID-devices (mouse, joystick and joypad) using an internal USB-stack and then emulates an Amiga-compatible input device to the Amiga. It is not necessary to install a driver. The adapter is connected to the mouse or joystick port. Firmware updates can be installed using a "bootloader" mode which is not explained in detail.
Ryś is delivered in a simple connector housing. It is also possible to use it together with an A600 but obviously a (mechanical) adapter is required. Apart from that the adapter is compatible with all Amiga models. According to the website the development was completed. Information about the price or availability was not available.
