Now what a pile of BS .... (no suprise)

Why didn't they just write a driver for the onboard USB
that every mobo has (only 2 possible chipsets) ?

Well, because they want to sell us their overpriced and
dongled HW, which is just a relabeled OEM-card worthe 20$ ....

Priracy ain't the cause, as I would still need to buy a licence
for Poseidon, oh wait I forgot Elbox are only interested in
their IP, and have no respect for someones elses......

The whole point of Amithlon was an is to get away from over-priced
"special" HW, but this is just insane !

Don't get me wrong, I would like to buy Poseidon for it, and I
would even be prepared to pay some extra $$ for the low-level
driver, but no way I would put such a card in my sys when I
allready got USB in it ....

/sorry for ranting, but has to be done has to be done  :-x
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

But it really sounded like a typical Elbox-PR-stunt  .....
