Free doorstop! Packaged and ready to ship!

Hi there,

I listed a Spider 2 USB 2 PCI card for A1200 on eBay last week but decided to yank it off eBay after someone by the name of Chris wrote in to say there were no drivers available for it. My understanding is that USB card isn't going to work without drivers. I don't know if this is true or not since I never got to install it. Don't own a 1200 anymore.

Shoot me a pmail if you'd like to have it. I'll charge you shipping costs, that's it. Otherwise it's going next door to the game farm for target practice.

Here are links to some pictures of the thing...

Spider Pic 1, Spider Pic 2, Spider Pic 3, Spider Pic 4

Good luck with it.

It actually comes with a driver, but the developer of the only USB stack for the Amiga has discontinued classic support and registrations.

That's a more accurate description. I browsed over to Elbox.com and they are still selling this Spider 2. But when you click on the registration link you get this little surprise. That's unfortunate.

Why not return it to Elbox and get your money back?

Hi weirdami,

Well, I don't own a 1200 anymore so I have no need for the device to begin with.

Secondly, I really don't want to deal with the fuss (if any)  of trying to get my money back with Elbox. My main goal is a mid-winter spring cleaning of the office and garage. :-)

When I posted the infamous Spider on eBay, I didn't know that the poseidon stack software or whatever it is, could not be registered. I found that out later.

One thing I might mention though, is that I find it quite pathetic that the Amiga community has to field the brunt of this argument between a programmer and a hardware company. That's not very professional. That's all I'll say about that.

Well thanks everyone for all your responses and pmails. Several people wanted the  board but I sent it to the first responder.

That doesnt make any difference.  If I'm using my work laptop at home and I buy a game I can play it on my work laptop. I may not own the laptop but that doesnt mean I cant install the game on my laptop.

Yup I agree. I think this is a case of splitting hairs and getting angry over nothing, turning around and making every customer suffer for it.

Does any of this affect it's function as a doorstop?

 :-D  :-D  :-D

I hope not! :-) Thanks for the humor. Working in support, I need that once in a while...

Well anyway, it may not even function as a doorstop because it's so very light in weight.
