Title: ALGOR Delivery Starts on Monday
Post by: mboehmer_e3b on June 01, 2003, 10:55:46 PM
The delivery of the new Zorro II USB controller ALGOR (http://www.e3b.de/usb/algor_e.html) from E3B to Amiga dealers starts on monday. We apologize for the delay caused by a machine breakdown in our production line.
As a small compensation there were some nice extras added:

The ALGOR features now a diskless installation. No more floppy needed - everything is integrated on the card. Just one of the many things one can do with FlashROM.

For buyers of an ALGOR /  NORWAY (http://www.e3b.de/usb/norway_e.html) bundle a specially tooled slot plate with one USB and one ethernet connector is available - at no additional charge (only available through selected dealers). Especially useful for full desktop machines.

The last goodie is exclusively reserved for buyers of the ALGOR :)

E3B wants to thank all interested people for their patience. We also appreciate the input from the community during the development phase of this board. Moreover, without the good acceptance of our first USB controller boards and the positive feedback from many users we wouldn't have been so encouraged to go one step further. Thanks to all of our supporters !

Does this mean Poseidon is included on the ROM then?

Hi Gnarly,

the whole installation disk is included in the flashrom. It is automounted as disk image from the ALGOR on the WB and can be used like a disk to install Poseidon and all necessary flashrom tools.

Hope this answers your question.

Michael
