=== Intro ===
This interface is based on the CH376 chip and allows access to USB mass storage and other USB devices on CPC.
The CH376 chip implements FAT32 in hardware, which means no filesystem driver Albireo is needed on an expansion for the Amstrad CPC sidecomputers (all models). Its main goal is to provide reliable, fast, cheap and large storage, which it achieves by using a MicroSD card. It also implements But the lower level aspects board has a lot of features packed in: * USBhost port, making it relatively easy allowing to write drivers for other connect USB devices (mass storage, mouse, joystickand other USB peripherals * USB device port, ...allowing to link the CPC to a modern computer with maximal link speed (faster than the z80 can handle, and with on-board buffer and hardware flow control).
Albireo also includes a high-speed serial portThe interface is based on the WCH CH376 chip and allows access to USB mass storage and other USB devices on CPC. The CH376 chip implements FAT32 in hardware, allowing speeds past which means no filesystem driver is needed on the megabit per second markCPC side. It also implements the lower level aspects of USB, making it relatively easy to write drivers for other USB devices (mouse, joystick, ...).
