ReactOS Forum

I think you're all being too optimistic, using the diff mailing list archive I found that the string "usb" hasn't appeared since November. I'm predicting 0.4 will come when the graphic bugs are completely ironed out.

Maybe not in the mailing lists, but Elledan is working on it, as you can see here

USB is more important.
so we can use USB mouse and keyboard and USB media such as USB HDD and USB flash drive and SD card reader and stuff like that.

The initial USB support will be limited to keyboard/mouse, similar to the one available in NT, AFAIK. But it will already by a huge step forward (toward testing it on real hardware for instance 8) )

Keyboard/mouse and storage devices (HID & USB Mass Storage). Other USB device classes will be added afterwards.

Thank you for the official clarification Elledan. And thank you for your work.

If you mean USB storage, then yes, as long as they're inside a USB external enclosure ^_^ Else it falls under ATAPI/SATA.

Good good. I've been quite interested in installing ReactOS on an EeePC and without USB support it's a bit like a fish out of water.

If there is finally partial USB support in ROS I will open a big barrel of bear !

Careful, PETA may get him for that.
