560 bytes added, 28 March
list of supported mouses added
=== What is it useful for? ===
Not much currently because there is no software yet, but * Use both USB mass storage devices and/or USB mice in [[SymbOS]] with one or two Albireos, which can be connected at the same time* Access mass storage devices with [[UniDOS]]; use the USB key or SD card directly from BASIC and well-behaving apps (which support extra disk ROMs and a C drive); load games and tools from the future:mass storage media
* Use the USB key or SD card directly from BASIC and well-behaving apps (which support extra disk ROMs and a C drive). Load games and tools from the mass storage mediaPlanned:
* Connect to another computer like the CPC Booster, load snapshot, DSK or other files from it and write them to floppies or the mass storage media. A snapshot of 128K could be loaded in 0.86 seconds, a snapshot of 64K in less than 0.43 seconds.
* Use SLIP (serial line IP) and a properly setup gateway (Linux machine or similar) to connect the CPC to the Internet.
 
There are a drivers in FutureOS and SymbOS to use Albireo with an USB mouse.

=== Software supporting the Albireo ===

* [[Arkos_Tracker]] 2 (use the CPC AY chip through the USB serial port)
* [[FutureOS]] (USB mouse support)

The following USB mice work seamlessly with the Albireo in [[SymbOS]].
* Logitech M100 (still available; 03/2025)
* Logitech M105
* Genius DX-150X (GM-150028)
 
=== Blacklist ===
This list contains mice that only have a maximum of three buttons and a scroll wheel, but still don't work with the standard Albireo drivers. More complex gaming mice, etc., are not listed, as they would require a more complex driver anyway.
