There has been some significant progress lately made on Haiku’s USB support and users of BeOS R5 can also benefit from the work. Michael Lotz, the developer responsible for much of the work on Haiku’s USB kit, has written a lengthy article on his blog detailing the steps necessary to get Haiku’s USB stack working with R5. What, no love for R4.5 users? (Kidding)

While Haiku’s USB stack is not yet complete – and while the steps necesarry to install it are not for the faint-hearted – it does already contains several improvements over the USB stack included with R5. Most significantly, it contains support for USB 2.0 and mass storage devices which include removable keychain drives, card readers, many digital cameras and mp3 players, etc.

Additional details can be found on BeGroovy and IsComputerOn.
