Some major progress updates have happened since I posted the status update. Michal Schulz has posted on his blog that he is back coding on AROS now and has made some progress with USB.
Rob posted on his blog also. He has placed his packet code into the AROS SVN. Developers have been testing it and I've heard nothing but positive things about it on IRC and on the mailing list.
It is good to see the updates. Keep up the good work guys!
