AvailableChecked Jul 25, 2026Atarimax/ABBUC USB Cartridgeby ABBUC e.V. and Atarimax

Adds a two-port USB host interface for supported keyboards, controllers, mice, and other driver-backed devices.

Atarimax marked the cartridge in stock and ready for shipment on 2026-07-25, although the same page called the current price a preorder promotion through 2026-07-31. This is not a generic plug-and-play USB port: support depends on Atari-side drivers. Atarimax still describes the software as early beta, and the MicroUSB project's substantive status notes are historical, so check the device matrix and exact driver before buying hardware for a particular peripheral.

Build itChecked Jul 25, 2026Commodore User-Port USB Interfaceby Andre Fachat

Adds experimental USB host and device hardware through Commodore user and cassette ports.

Revision 1.0A is marked okay but was tested only on a PET. Revision 1.1A adds separately regulated, switchable USB host power but is explicitly untested. The interface uses both the user port and cassette port; PET ROM interrupt handling can switch cassette-motor-controlled USB power off unless software works around it. usb65 describes preliminary keyboard mapping, limited features, broken MAX3421 hub enumeration, and only partly working device mode. USB mass storage and networking are future plans, not supported features.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026DivMMC-USBby Lotharek

Combines DivMMC microSD storage, USB HID input, four ROM slots, snapshot storage, dual-AY audio, and DAC modes in one ZX expansion interface.

The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. Its published testing covers the original 48K, original 128K, Pentagon, and KRAKEN. The page says +2A and +2B compatibility still has known issues and that keyboard-mapped USB input will not work on +2A or +3 because of data-bus coupling; those models are not attached. Treat the described resistor workaround as experimental, not an installation recommendation. Follow the separate FPGA and USB-controller update procedures exactly.
