I would suggest to refrain from buying a Spider card as you cannot register Poseidon for it anymore and hence, the card is completely useless.


How come?

Aha, there have been things going on... I see...

Oh, well, whatever... 'it doesn't matter, to me', I guess I would have to say, then...

...the market, developers aswell as end-users, will kill itself eventually... or something the like...

Oh... okay... I see... after having read through the statement on the page linked to earlier, that is...

So... because there is this possibility that Elbox might have been using Poseidon without a proper registration the author of Poseidon have decided to stop supporting Poseidon for 68k.

In other words, to be blunt, because of Elbox possibly having done something illegal the community should suffer... and, the community should also put the blame on Elbox for Poseidon not being supported for 68k anymore? That doesn't seem like logic...

If the author of Poseidon stops supporting Poseidon for the 68k I will consider it being the authors decision and the authors decision only. Thus he is the only one to blame (if one considers someone to be blamed). Yes, there might be strong reasons for making this decision, but still, it isn't Elbox that have made the decision, and that is true no matter what they might have done (that, I say, because I have no clue as wether or not they have done something wrong or not).

Thankfully this doesn't affect me since I am not interested in using USB on my Amiga at the moment, but on the other hand... if I ever would have been I would have registered Poseidon.

I guess my entire point with this post is that I find the entire scenario rather... uhm... tragic. Anyways, I do hope that things can be settled... because even if I don't want to use USB on my Amiga, I know there are others that want to do that very thing; to use Poseidon on THEIR Amigas, that is...
