I have only just heard about this. I think it's a disgrace. I understand Elbox's desire to have their driver used only for "their" hardware, but they don't need to trash someone's RDB to do this. They could just make the driver stop running if a non-Spider card is detected (which I suspect is what happens now).
Now that the RDB trashing code has been removed, what is stopping the driver from being modified to work with with non-Spider USB cards which use the same chipset but don't contain the Spider identifier?
