The insanity of the Amiga-market

That would be the 4th USB-card (discarding the rebadged PCI-ones),
which wouldn't be that bad, but YAUS ? Why not just licemce Poseidon ?
Why not make it easier for developers wanting to support USB-HW ?

Right now Poseidon is as much a standard as CGX for high/true-color
GFX or AHI for sound ......

Shaking my head in disbeliev is all I'm left with ...

Hmm... I think this is the same thingy that was on Aachen (at Jens stand). So it's not really all new anymore. But there are still a lot of USB:s for old Amigas,  and considerign shrinking market of classix Amigas it does not look too rosy for newcomers.

@JoannaK

I just checked, and yes that was the one shown in Aachen but AFAIR
it was at Veasalia (not the that I actually cared).

Still makes 3 USB-cards with 3-USB-stacks.

Add the vapor-stacks by Elbox and VMC to it and your in a complete
mess.

Checking that SW runs in CGX AND P96 can still be a pain for a developer
and those have been out for years.

How much time do you think will IOSPIRIT need to make sure that fxScan
or VHI-Studio wortks with all of them ? That time could have been
invested better.
