20080403199 | Fire up your external drives!

Woot, USB guru Michael Lotz (mmlr) recently committed (rev24780) his USB disk driver to the image, meaning that we should all test out Haiku with SD cards, external hard drives, cameras, and the like and fill our hardware database

Personally, I'm quite excited to try installing Haiku on an SD card on my EEEPC, and seeing if it works, but I have to download all the sources again and rebuild an image - will report on that later on -- update: tried the new image, but it still won't detect or boot from the SD card :(

	I have a 160GB drive in an external enclosure that I will be able to test and add it to the Hardware DB.

	I'm not sure the SD card will work.. Integrated systems normally have them on PCI.. Ricoh or TI flash media interfaces... If it was a USB internal card reader, though . . .

	It is just an ordinary Cd-Card reader I bought. Nothing special. I am only the first one that reported a working USB- SD-Driver here on Haikuware, sure there are much more working out there.

	Well, I think it's special that it's working on Haiku. I'm sure there are many more working out there too, but I haven't read anything in this regard.
