83Plus:Software:usb8x/Supported Devices

Most USB devices that are self-powered, or draw 100mA or less current from the USB bus should be compatible with usb8x. Below is a list of device classes and specific devices that have been tested. Devices that require isochronous endpoints or have an integrated USB hub are not currently compatible.

Internal Driver

These devices work and usb8x contains an internal driver to control them.

Should Work

These devices have been tested to properly initialize with usb8x, but no drivers have been attempted.

• Canon i850 printer
• Canon SD400 digital camera
• Motorola SURFboard cable modem
• Motorola V220 (can act as USB Modem)
• TI-84 Plus (calc<->calc)
• Generic IrDA USB dongle (says it draws 440 mA, but initializes fine anyway (because it only draws up to 100mA until configured))

Not Compatible

These devices are not compatible with usb8x.

• Ezonics webcam - isochronous endpoints
• Netgear WG111 802.11 adapter - draws too much current?
• SMC 802.11b adapter - draws too much current
• Taurus MBT-1203 bluetooth adapter - has integrated hub
• PNY Attache 1GB USB flash drive - NAKs on all but "request sense" and inquiry commands
• PSP acting as a mass storage device - IDK why
• Most things which require you to press a button to use it as a USB MSD after connecting it to a computer - Timeout exceeds
