Right now FutureOS support the M4 SD card, HD20 hard disc and the SF3 USB stick (as soon as its M4 SD card emulation will work).

But... which other devices should be supported?
(Please let me know if I forgot a device)

Please use the poll  :) :) :)

Thanks a lot for your voting! :) :) :)  Hope that we get a few more votes to give anybody the chance to participate.  :) :) :)

Looks like that "USIfAC II / ULIfAC" is the first way to go. That's not surprising since they sold around 800 units.  :)  :) :)

Which ROM expansion do you use with USIfAC II / ULIfAC?

Hi,

PicoCPC is missing.

Albireo/UsifaC use the same mass storage chip : CH376, so it is the same
Add CH376 emulation in the PicoCPC is possible as well :)

The PicoCPC can emulate/Present itself as anything, so I suppose the more simple can be to emulate the device with the more software supported

Thanks! Option added!  :) :) :)
Well, I'm not familiar with the PicoCPC. If you like you can post a link here about Mass Storage on PicoCPC here.  :) :) :)

Thanks for your participation!!!  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)


The way to go is: ULIfAC / USIfAC, then Albireo (closer in hardware) and eventually X-MASS (more different in hardware). 

Let me know it you miss something pls.  :o

Thank you very much again for your participation... Next up will be definitely the USIfAC II and ULIfAC expansions.

Meanwhile the FutureOS ROM M was overworked, now if works 100% perfect with the SD card of the M4 expansion. Before there were few issues with some M4 expansions. The problem was that reading a DIRectory name worked most of the time but not every time.

Old way:
- Code in ROM M did send command codes to M4 card
- Jump to RAM
- Switch to M4 ROM 
- Read data from M4 ROM
- Jump back to FutureOS ROM M

New way:

- Jump to RAM
- Switch to M4 ROM 
- Code in RAM does send command codes to M4 card
- Read data from M4 ROM
- Jump back to FutureOS ROM M

Also new features have been added like hot keys (compatible to FutureOS) 
Interface was polished, max. file-name to be shown is 27 characters now.

Here you can download the new ROM:

Just use the good ROManager to install new ROM M over the old one.  :) :) :)
