They are not really happy with Pegasos having only USB 1.1 support while Spider is a USB 2.0 controller.

Well, I'm happy, I bought Zorro2 board to my A1200 instead of Mediator, mainly becouse Z2 isn't Elbox product, which means that developers can support it...

Everyone surely knows, what would likely happen, if someone wanted to support Mediator by, for example, adding Mediator support to OpenPCI...

(Or we don't know, as it wasn't added, due to legal threats...)

I wonder, if I could have been able to use even MorphOS with Mediator... Well, no use thinking such things, as I chose better solution back then...

And I needed to add only Ethernet and I/O card (X-Surf and A2232, had HyperCom3 for a while, but it didn't suit my needs)

But now I'm happy Pegasos user, with USB _with_ drivers "built-in" the OS itself.

-EDIT-

About the illegal RDB trashing code, I didn't really have problems with that...

But the way they handled it, ("It's not there", "ok, it's there, but it's not illegal", "We updated our drivers (The RDB trasher was still there)")

All that instead of "the right way", that would have been "We're terribly sorry, the code has been removed now."

That made me really proud unprivileged user :-)
