Hi,

I have gotten my hands on another laptop using the OHCI USB protocol that we can test the OHCI code on. It is an Acer Aspire 3000 Laptop.
When I get home, I will get you the details of the hardware and some testing. The laptop also has an EHCI controller and it works perfectly with your EHCI code so far. The laptop was a perfect candidate as it also did not support booting from USB via the BIOS.

Is the OHCI code ready for testing soon?

Regards,
qiet72

Hi again,

In about three weeks time, I will have to deliver the Acer Aspire 3000 to a family member. It would be nice if the OHCI is ready for testing before then. Until now, as promised, benchmarks for the Acer Aspire 3000:

I think we can close this thread now. Version 5.0.4 works fine now with this laptop at 10 secs for a bzImage. Cool stuff!
