AROS: Experimental USB 3 support in Poseidon
In mid-December 2025, we reported that USB 3.0 support for the Poseidon USB stack was under development by Nick 'Kalamatee' Andrews, and that an initial experimental ISO was already available. Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz has now improved this approach to such an extent that AROS 64-bit can be booted from USB sticks on motherboards with USB 3 support.
