Did you see it working, or did they only show you the Hardware?

Too bad it won't fit into my A1200's trap door slot...  :-(  Maybe they change their mind and will produce one if demand is there.

Have not seen the Video's but from the things i gathered in different Threads:

Dragon is working and was running OS 3.9.

I would like to know:
1. How compatible is it to 68k Software.
2. Is FPU and MMU working? As far as i know the Coldfire V4e can emulate an 68k but without MMU and FPU - so did they activate the emulator, or patch the OS (maybe patching was not necessary)?
3. I know it's cool that this thing is working, but any geek porn (Benchmarks) out there?

Bye

User Valwit in german forums translated the post from polish? (i mean the language spoken in poland) to german. I won't bother translating all, because then i had to also post the other point of view too... never ending story...

First Darek Smietana  says that it is not about 38€ but about some diffrences between Chris Hodges+E3B with Elbox (Note: Thats Elbox point of view). bla bla -  Thats the part with the 38€.

He also states that Poseidon is registered to an employee of elbox, who (bought/got) it through ppa.pl. The employee is no Amiga user, and never had one. He only bought it  for Elbox the company. Thats the licence they used at the demonstration.

So that's the short form of it. I tried to get this posted "neutral" so that Chris Hodges does not have to reply to the insults from Darek Smietana here.

Bye

Edit:
Seems that other people can type faster than i.
Edit 2:
As the german text is here and others have translated this for themselves... and got the meaning out of the german text as intended by Elbox: There is a reaction from E3B on german forums, and they have a slightly other point of view. The main (one of the main) problem(s) seems to be Elbox selling a 10€ NEC USB Card for 50 € saying it works (ships) with Poseidon, but not mentioning that Poseidon is not  part of the package -> And then People complainig to Chris Hodges because they have to pay for Poseidon.

So you see why i originally wanted to leave this out.... i think we should leave the rest to E-Mails between Elbox, E3B and Chris Hodges.
