The Spider2 is not Amiga specific - its just a standard USB2.0 Highspeed card for PCI slots.
It comes with a small CD with x86-drivers for use in every Wintel-PC - just that it is manufactured by a company well known in the Amiga-"market"...

BUT... currently drivers only exist for a small list of PCI cards. If like me you'd be happy with a nice P96 RTG video update and nic card for your classic, then this might be a good thing for you.

But it just doesn't support most other PC PCI cards right now.

Well - it offers support for graphic cards, sound card, networking cards, USB cards, TV cards and the like - what kind of support are you missing?

Its just that not all *products* from all *manufactures* that are available at the next computer shop aruond the corner are supported.

But if you buy your PCI cards according the compatibility list (that comes together with the mediator and is also accessible on Elboxes web page) there sould be no problems...
