I`m proud to say that all my Amigas are absolutely Elbox free (though I have an old Mroockeck in the spareparts drawer I got from somewhere). Statements like this (from Elbox) tell me that this is a good thing
I also still don't see why people with the elbox usb stuff can't just register poseidon pretending to have one of those other non-elbox cards.
Fine you would have a registered stack then, that will not talk to spider.device by default. So where is the point.
If it is true what Argus says the question should be: Why is there a need for Spider ?
Just make no softwareupdates for your Elbox stuff and you are on the safe side. It isn`t like there are weekly updates incorporating groundshaking enhancements anyway.
I think this will totally backfire. People that have Elbox stuff aren`t affected as long as they don`t update their drivers and potential new customers will be scared away by this.
