Good to see, but Jim, you're following the Elbox model! What's up with that? I'm assuming the driver will be closed source. . . .

Hmmm. OK. I'll give you a pass for not charging for the driver. ;-) If the driver is being written to the native Prometheus SDK, then it makes sense for Jens to keep it closed source. But. . . . Why not just write it to OpenPCI and satisfy everyone at the same time? And I should be making these comments via email and not on a board. D'oh! :-)

Edit: I do see how having Prometheus support enhances the market for both products, but in its current state, the Amiga market isn't exactly general purpose. Hobbyists like to tinker. . . .
