Michael Boehmer of E3B told me there cannot be another run of Deneb because he and Chris Hodges have fallen out over something.

I don't know the details (and I don't want to, it is a personal matter and should stay between them), I've talked to both guys over the years and both are really nice people so I'm sure it must be something they cannot get past.

The result is that Michael can no longer license Poseidon. Without a software stack he cannot sell Deneb.

As we all know, "Silicon without software is just sand" and so Deneb is gone :(


It aggravates me how many developers in the Amiga community cannot seem to get along.

Ok, so E3B cannot license Poseidon; why can't the end user license it for themselves?

Or hardware companies have a business culture that clash with software development mindset.

I think the focus should rather be on fixing a solution than anything else.


Has anyone tried anaiis USB stack with the Deneb?

Don't worry, i am not judging you, and i was on your side in the dispute with Elbox anyway.

But the Deneb is such a versatile and fast board that i am very sorry to not be able to buy a new one when i need, or to replace mine if necessary.


Seconded.  I love my Deneb and I very much like Poseidon and Luciferin.  I haven't had much time with my MacMini under MorphOS, but I see the USB interface is our tried-and-true friend.

I want more USB for my Amiga, one way or another.

I never trust any backup system...... especially on important data.


Blasphemy!  "The Cloud" is absolute perfection!!  Just ask anyone who had or has a SideKick, or anyone who used MobileMe.

Oh, wait.
