I don't know what ikir meant, but a recent test in the Amiga-Future
said that inferior to the HighWay/SubWay.

Only one USB-connectors.
Buggy chipset (problems with low-speed devices such as mice, keyboard
hubs ....).
Far less HW-supported.
USB-stack is also inferior to Poseidon.
No european distributor.
Full-lenght-Zorro-card (the only Zorro left in my A4k is the one
inline with the FlickerFixer).

Would have been a great card, if it were alone in the market.

Disclaimer:
Haven't tested it myself, but just repeated what AF had written.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

No but it was the AF you said that it might be a problem for those
who allready have ISA/PCI or Video-Slot-cards in their system
blocking out all free Zorro-slots.

Being oversensitive out  :-x

a 4 port usb hub can be purchased and you would still have change leftover from what you have spent on the competition,


Your price (??? taken from that test): 179.95 AUD ~ 100 Euro.
HighWay (from KDH) 99.90 Euro.

P&P from KDH : 4.90 Euro
P&P from ???? : ??? Euro

Sorry no change left in my pocket  ;-)

You can actually use Poseidon on it as well, so you have the best of both worlds.


Which will cost extra ??????? (thats supposed to be a bunch of Euro-signs).

Sure he worked hard, but so did Michael Böhmer and Chris Hodges !

Just his bad luck that someelse delivered a superior product
at an earlier date.

Same thing may happen with Catweazle-PCI and that floppy-interface
(forgot the name) from down-under.

The market is so small that it very hard to survive, and it's
even harder if you got competition.
