Poseidon USB Stack : Hazardous to your Amiga's Health

[Zac67]

Unfortunately that's no joke. In old versions of the Spider USB driver, when you tried to hack the driver and change the PCI IDs to make a generic USB card work, you'd find that the driver had erased the RDB info. It seems Poseidon detects this and tell you before you reboot.

Must people don't actually find this funny, since it endangers your data in case of some malfunction (RAM, memory access) - it has been reported, that this 'function' is not included in newer Mediator drivers any more.

Personally, this issue has disqualified Elbox from me ever buying anything from them.

Good work, Chris.

What really brought me up against Elbox, was their way to handle the issue: no excuse, no regret, just blurb and outright lies. It is NOT legal to destroy data when your precious software thinks it has been manipulated, nor does it stand in any proportion.

In addition, I didn't like the way they handled the whole licensing agreement with you - pretty much found a hole in the agreement and ripped off all USB users. Last but not least that really did hurt the community.
