PROMETHEUS

[Plaz]

Mine works great but it did take a couple of days to get all the configurations worked out with the prometheus, nic and video drivers. Mine is installed in an A4000 desktop running OS3.9. Hardware support is limited to the specific video and nic cards Red mentioned, but new firmware has been promised that will probably support more hardware as drivers become available. The dev team is still active and working on the updates, but I don't know if there is much stock available. I was told that in the first run about 100+ were made and sold. Maybe when new firmware is ready there will be another production run? I've been very happy with mine so far (thanks Red for selling it to me :-)) though my 060 card died and I haven't used it much lately. I've waited and watched for news on the A1 boards and AckContol boards.

but I can certainly say it was much higher than 100. Actually, the buyout I did from Matay was about 100 pieces.

Thanks for clarifying. I may have had info on just that last batch of cards with the latest firmware.

In other words: Was I stupid not to buy a Prometheus when I had the chance?

I wouldn't think so. Currently Mediator supports more cards and there's still vendor support for mediator, correct? I thought the price comparisons at the time I bought mine were similar. Mediator cost a bit more, but had more support. The prometheus was priced better but only supported certain cards and looked like it might be at the end of it's life. Since I only was after a 10/100 ethernet card support at the time, it was a good choice for me. Once I got the Voodoo3 installed, it was certainly a nice bonus. If a new firmware is released and prometheus winds up being compatible with a new ACK card, then I may have made out with a very nice deal.
