Guest post by The OpenBSD operating system, famous for its proactive approach to security, has gained support for USB 3.0 devices. A brief announcement was made on November 10th, letting OpenBSD users know USB 3.0 support had arrived.
The post said legacy USB 1.x devices would continue to work on USB 3.0 ports.
For those of you who’d been looking forward to using those blue USB ports of yours, now’s the time to plug in as many 3.0 devices as you can find! Of course, just about the time we publish this story, USB1.x devices are now supported on a USB 3.x controller.
Nice one guys! Thanks!
Time to grab source and rebuild. Hurrah!
Just to make this clear, compiling source code isn’t needed. Update your system with the latest snapshot and you’re ready to go.
But watching all those fiddly-bits flying around during a build is so much more fun!
