Title: Poseidon V4.2 update Subway, Highway, Algor and Deneb available
Post by: platon42 on August 31, 2008, 11:36:08 PM
A new update of Poseidon for 68k classic Amiga is available today. I

t can be downloaded using Trident online update or from my website http://www.platon42.de

Starting from V4.0, Poseidon is no longer keyfile bound -- it is only licenced to E3B hardware (and MorphOS). You cannot upgrade Poseidon to V4.x for using it with the Spider, Amithlon or Thylacine, so please don't attempt to do so, I will not provide the legacy archives for downgrading.

Users of E3B hardware can may upgrade for free to this latest version. This includes Subway, Highway, Algor and Deneb users, no matter if they were using an old Poseidon V2.x or V3.x release. No keyfile is required.

If you want to support me, please consider donating an item from my Amazon wishlist (URL below). Thanks!


Big news
~~~~~~~~
V4.2
  - Support for suspend/resume of USB devices for power saving.
  - Improvements of usbaudio.class, hub.class
  - More massstorage.class workarounds for buggy devices.
  - Major bugfixing for PTP class.

... was the first image that I came across. A user sent me one from Japan, but it was dead (probably a dead soldering point, they are *really* cheap and low quality), but the replacement was working nicely.

No updates because I don't have a machine to test it on and by now Amithlon is stone dead. And less than one registration per month is not worth the hassle.

Because the driver was added first in V4.2
