Why do I have to buy PoseidonUSB v2.x for Spider II from ELBOX?

I guess you hate Hyperion, the CGX team, the P96 team
and generally, all people that had problems with Elbox
in the past... My friend... YOU SUCK!

Your Highway (I'm not even a fan of it, just mentioning
some facts) price busting is more than wrong...
Do you think that the Spider price = it's parts price
plus some added cost to get some money?
It doesn't work this way...
When you buy a product, you pay:
R&D, parts, production (which is expensive in small numbers),
support, software than comes with it, packaging and the
added cost to have some income...
I did some research about portable DVD players in the past,
do you know how much the parts and production alone cost?
Less than half the end user price...
The Highway needed R&D that was *NOT* needed for Elbox's
solution (which HW engineer DOESN'T know how to make a PCI
card based on a well known and documented PCI USB chipset?)

Now, make your calculations again and see that the price
difference between the boards is VERY minimal.

BTW, leave the Pegasos OUT of your price lists, nobody bought
the Pegasos to get a USB solution.

'Rat' is my family name in translation to English language. I'm your customer and you have my personal data. My name--Rat--was used in this forum by YOU and by Michael Boehmer from E3B, NOT by me. In this forum I use nickname 'tjaoz' solely.

The key here is "in this forum". You used Rat as a
nickname to post THE SAME utter bullshit on ann.lu,
MULTIBLE times...

You can't imagine how instantly it happens on Peg:-)
Imagine having a USB mouse working by just plugging it in, no driver installations, no popups, no
anything. It's initialized in t<<1s , almost as fast as
a PS/2 mouse, instantly. Should be the same on all
other supported boards, really, but on the Peg and
AOne, it's built in:)

It's not at all "obvious". If you use a 1200, it's NOT
faster (nor slower). The Mediator 1200 uses the
GFXCard ram DMA method. It works fine, but it's NOT
DMA when transfering stuff from and to the cards
from main memory. It uses normal read and write
operations. Yes, it could be faster in high speed mode
by some kbs or mbs but not more... You cannot reach
the USB2.0 speed with any Amiga solution, except
if you plan to copy files from HighSpeed devices
to the GFX Card ram and keep it there:-)
