(I think the big thing was Elbox sold more Spider cards then E3B sold clock and Zorro cards)


I honestly doubt that ther were more then a few Spider cards sold. The whole issue is about Elbox not being open an honest to Chris about e few things. He has the whole story on its website and I actually bothered to read the whole thing. Unfortunately (well I think at last for you) most of it is in german.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

You aren`t by any chance on the payrole of Elbox ? Heck I belive you are FROM Elbox.

But you are right, the elboxstory on Chris page is indeed in english. I didn`t "notice" since reading english in the web has become quite naturally for me, so I often don`t "feel" the difference.

I wonder how he would manage that: thelepatie telekinese... If you have a fully working keyfile it just doesn`t stop working all of a sudden, but I can quite imagine that newser versions won`t work with that keyfile anymore.
You should blame Elbox and not Chris for this. If they told Chris the whole story, that they plan to sell a dongeled card you wold get an OEM license directly from Elbox together with the card, just like it is with der Highway,Subway,Algor.
I still belive you are working for Elbox, as no one could ever be on the side of Elbox no matter on what case.

@ tjaoz

I'm tempted to reply but you obviously have lost the sense for reallity or are just plain dumb, so it won't make sense to talk to you anymore.

I am astound that some care so less about the RDB deletion code that were in the Elbox drivers. Let`s say some company installs a mechanism in a car that shoots whoever is in the driveing seat, if he tries to move the car without haveing the ignitionkey. There will be a chance of say 1 to 1.000.000 for a system malfunction. Would you dare to drive with such a car ??

> For what? Lack of USB 2.0 support for your platform?


Yeah sure, especially since the all mighty USB 2 Solution from Elbox isn`t one ditch faster then the Algor ROTLF.
Want me to show the official benchmark from the Amiga+ magazine issue 05/2003 page 16

Sure there must be some code in Poseidon that drags down the Spider 2 on purpose :roflmao:
