just saw the worrying Poseidon news

[lempkee]

mantispider:  go get a subway usb, it has a usbstack included and there will be no fuzz when getting it.

it fits on the clockport (a1200) , or if you have a ziv mediator then you can fit it on there also,  on a catweasel etc..

dont wait for elbox on this as elbox still just tells you that go to aminet and download poseidon demo and use that bla bla..

anyway to remove the confusio:

(PCI) Spider 2.0 =  Poseidon Impossible to Register (since aug.2003)

(Clockport)Subway = Still possible.

also all products are shown on the poseidon website what it supports , and its not likely support will stop for the adapters like subway etc.

also a small note to all spider owners , to them who registered before august 2003 can still get updates but it havent happened yet.

anyway i have a spider2.0 and its good, and i regged before aug2003 (phew) ...

cheers

New Elbox drivers (e.g. for Mediator) do not work when you have any USB card from E3B (subway, highway, algor) installed in your computer.

end of quote

WTF? , if this happens then i will boikott elbox forever, theese wars are simply STUPID and if this happens then i claim my money back for all the hw i bought at elbox (and that aint little)

cheers

never been attacked by thoose anti piracy code either, but maybe thats because i regged the drivers and bought the mmcd etc? .

i dont know why this is so dangerous , but then again i dont say its right to do so but i would be pretty pissed also if someone put my drivers on the web for free when it was commercial stuff.

anyway i lost the connection on this thread now , it seems tjhoz is in the middle (both pro and con on elbox) and so am i..

i would probably have been on a Z2i solution now ifit hadnt been for the mediator so i am very glad it did this upgrade, its the best i have ever done ... or hmm i think that was my 060 in 95... ok mediator = second best

i give a rats ass about all this mumbojumbo , i want to know if i buy cards from other companies..am i in danger then?

maybe i want an extra pci slot? then i will toss out my spider for sure and my soundcard..., if this will do me harm or my amiga then i will get crazy.

lets say , i get a delphina clockport card and a subway usb... if i attach them they wont work because i have a mediator?...
maaaaaaaaaaan i can smell all these new thread on theese forums we use...

now what if it works but it trash your setup? "mediator detected , Time To take REVENGE" BRRRRRRRR

or what on earth is all this about?...

i want an answer and that NOW, i give a #### about the malicious code in spider driver because it would never hurt me anyway, if it had then it would have trashed my system ages ago...nothing ever works here

cheers

xeron: but i guess you aint a mediator betatester right? , the new drivers is beeing worked on..

anyway it seems pretty stupid if they do this, people buy what ever hw they want and if its made to not work with other on evil purposes then its time i raise my sword....

grr

[lempkee]

so now there is 2 options right?

elbox makes the new stack, this stack will have to be registered , so we who regged poseidon will have to pay yet again to get a stack... or?

option 2:

elbox makes the stack for free to the allready regged spider owners.

(and in this new stack + all drivers there might be some E3b anti code?, please let us know asap becasuse this is getting rather annoying..)

[lempkee]

t_bone: aint you out of line now? , it seems you never owned a elbox product oh and that comment about 12 usb standards , well there will be atleast 2 from now on or maybe i should say 1 since Poseidon is obviously only for E3b products and this is yet another example of what went wrong with p96/cgx , pup/wup etc.

i am atleast 110% sure i wont by any hw from e3b until i know for sure it wont do my setup any harm, and for that i need to wait for mediator updates which should come pretty soon i guess.

i know that it works with the drivers we have now, but what happens with the next updates, lets see and as i said i wont buy anything before i know.

i simply dislike all of this thread, it shows what monopolism is and how its done and now it seems elbox is willing to play a mudfight against e3b and Ch , i dont take any side of this but i am not willingly giving up my mediator with the hw around it just because of some cry babies in both camps.

this is simply STUPID! and i hope elbox never will do this.

[lempkee]

xeron:well i normally dont loose my rdbs , last time i ever did so was maybe 3 years ago, and i have been a spider user for quite a while, and a mediator user for longer.

and to prove what did it if it happened, how can you prove it was elboxs code that did it then? and not something from some anti elbox people maybe?.

sorry but i am really fed up here atm.
