Poseidon USB and AROS-Exec

If your reading Amiga news lately you surely read about the Poseidon USB bounty being pushed past the $4000.00 mark. http://www.power2people.org/bounty_041.html
Krzysztof "deadwood" Smiechowicz helped immensely by matching contributions. He was the main force behind this. We thank him and his wallet! The donations came from many in the Amiga community. It was nice to see the entire community come together on this.

Poseidon brings a mature, enhanced USB stack to AROS. The following blurb was taken from Platon's web site.

The Poseidon USB Stack is a software solution that unleashes the possibilities of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the devices with USB interface, ranging from mice, keyboards, tablets, joysticks, printers, scanners, webcams, digicams, flash card readers, zip drives, floppy disk drives, harddisks, memory sticks, ethernet adapters, scanners and audio adapters to less common things like power supplies, GPS location devices or finger print readers. It is intended to be a solution for all systems.

Since the bounty reached it's mark, the master of Poseidon, Chris "Platon" Hodges has started working on the port. He has been in the AROS IRC channel hanging out with us and asking any questions he might have. It sounds as if he likes AROS and might be sticking around even after the bounty! We like that!
He has been posting his progress on AROS-Exec.org. Here is the screenshot of the Trident Graphical User Interface for the Poseidon USB Stack. Suh-weeet!!!

You might have already noticed that AROS-Exec.org is back up and looking GOOD! Ola "4-pLaY" Jensen and Hogne "m0ns00n" Titlestad worked to upgrade the old site and gave it a brand new design! It looks very fine and people are happy to see it back. It even seems quicker! Great job guys!
By the way, I want to thank AROSWorld.org for being there for us. We are lucky to have two community sites for AROS. Actually, no need to quit visiting AROSWorld.org. The difference between the two sites is AROS-Exec.org is more of a developer site and AROSWorld.org is more of a user site. So give them both some lovin! The more AROS love, the better!
