Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Does this mean that a PicoMite can talk to four other PicoMites via their USB ports?

G'day Peter,
A huge thank you for this, it's been on my wish list since the very first PicoMite USB firmware was mentioned  

Regards,
Lyle.

Awesome!  
Is it possible to do something else so that you can connect a USB Flash drive to a hub and have it available in the system as drive C:?

I guess USB laser-printer support will be next......  
You amaze us all, Peter.

I doubt if it will handle USB devices that aren't actually serial. That would rule out all types of USB flash drives, USB printers etc. Also, you can't set the baud rate so it's not something you could connect to a serial printer.

Time to plug some USB drives into a Raspberry Pi and turn it into a modernised  Commodore 64 disk drive. :)
