Hi, so far I have built 60 of them, all have been distributed already. As there are some more demands, I will order a small batch soon, anyone who wants one should ask as soon as possible.

Thanks for your answer. Great news!!!

Hi everyone!

I have built a new batch and everyone who ordered it should receive it in the next few days.
As I have built a few more to keep the price down, if anyone is still interested, I have some Albireo available to order.

Great news Zik!

Very good timing, as I added new SymbOS drivers which can use two Albireos in parallel,
- one for a mouse and
- one for an USB mass storage stick
at the same time and now dynamically, so it doesn't matter which is set to #fe4x and which to #fe8x.

Is it still possible to order both port versions?
Will you be at Revision this year again?

Hi Zik!

This looks nice so...i'm interested in one as well.
Count me in.

Yes, I can bring you two boards at Revision, one on each port address.

Strictly speaking, it might be possible to handle both a mouse and a USB stick on one card by using a USB hub. But this has to be coded and tested, the CH376 documentation is unclear on this topic.

Ok, I will send you a PM.

@Zik thanks a lot, that would be awesome! Please tell me, if I should already transfer the money.

PulkoMandy wrote this Basic program for listing all connected devices, when using an USB hub. But I am fine with using two Albireos

Hello @Zik ,
I have received the Albireo, thank you very much!
Since I already have two, I want to modify this last one to use the alternative I/O addresses. To be sure, in the attached photo, I have marked the traces to cut with a red X and the solder points with yellow marks.
Is my assumption on how to make the modification correct?

Prodatron · 16:15, 20 March 25

That looks correct.
Here is a photo from my ones, the upper is the one with the original port, the lower then one with the alternative port.

@ajcasado yes this is correct. @Prodatron is right, as usual

Thanks @Zik !!
