Hi all.
I say some usb3-pcie-cards (with 20pin intern) with a NEC Chip on.
So can i use this inside my X1000 in a PCIe-slot with the ehci-kickstart.mod ?
It is so that in the Front of my X1000 is a USB3-Slot and in the Future when there is a USB3-Driver i dont must go to the Rear.
The latest OS4 Kernel uses I/O over PCIe so i can be possible.
Right? Wrong? Maybee? HaveFear?

Since I don't see a USB3 slot on the motherboard, I doubt we'll see a driver for USB3. Since there is no USB3 connector on the mother board, why did they switch the eSATA connector on the case to USB3? I bought a
Delock eSATAp front panel mount adapter. It was expensive but worth it; backups are really fast now.

Can a USB3-PCIe-x1 Card damage my X1000 ? Or its save to put it in and use it (just with USB2-Speed for now) until the USB3-Driver is out ?

News: I get a USB3-Card LinuxPPC see it but without a xHCI-HCD no Work. I pull it out for later if OS4.x and LinuxPPC can use it

Here give this a try with your new card.
install it to /lib/modules/3.5.7X1000/kernel/drivers/usb/host/
You will probably need to be root to do this, and I expect you'll need to create the 'host' directory
- xhci.zip
- Usb3 driver for Linux
- (46.86 KiB) Downloaded 775 times
Once you've installed it run depmod, with luck it will find your card next reboot. (You could look up modprobe if you are in a hurry..)
Let me know if it works.
Regards
Darren

Very nice!
It works.
dmesg | grep USB found a new "SuperSpeed USB-Device"
and it found my USB3-Stick the USB3-HDD and a USB3-SDXC_Cardreader.
BTW its this card: PCI-E USB 3.0 NEC D720201 Chipset 2 port 20-Pin Connector Control Card Adapter

I managed to find a similar USB 3.0 card in New Zealand. I've installed in in my A1-X1000 and can confirm your results with the 3.5.7 kernel and Daz's USB module driver.
