think about it its miamiDX..... it's a dead product.
And Chris Hodges, a talented programmer, will be inspired to write more software for the Amiga because.....?
Just like Holger Kruse (author of MiamiDX) - the masses of software he's released in recent years since his products have been wholesale pirated :roll:.
BTW I have heard the mediator is a bad USB stack and not worth the trouble... anyway the amiga does not need USB anyway.
A technical point, but I think you are confused between a USB stack (software, for example Poseidon) and a USB controller (for example Spider operating through the Mediator busboard). Are you saying that Poseidon is a bad USB stack? Compared to what other USB stack on the Amiga?
Also Darrin is right ... if the author wants to make money form his work he needs to sell it, since he chooses not to do that... well the result is simple, WHETHER I ADVOCAT IT OR NOT. It's reality.
And however you cut it, piracy is just that. Just because a shopkeeper refuses to sell his produce to you does not give you the right to steal his goods. You have no god-given right to use any commercial software unless the IP owner chooses to license it to you.
imho
Anyway, it's late - I'm going to bed.
This has all been discussed
ad nauseum anyway
