All I see is Elbox trying to protect the interests of their customers by trying to secure a good price for the stack (and protection against price rises) and and assurance that keyfiles would be easily available and remain that way.

As always, whenever someone dares to actually produce some hardware for the community then the same old faces appear to slag it off and drive them away.  No wonder the Amiga is dead.  Well done - slap yourself on the back and congratulate yourself on a job well done.

Well, as you're not big enough to do it to me yourself...   :roll:

Well done for digging up the truth guys.  Hodges' excuse is rather lame and is as likely as someone buying a copy of Lemmings and then complaining to Commodore that there wasn't an Amiga computer in the box because the label says that the game "runs on an Amiga".   :-D

Quite frankly, the whole situation sucks.  I have 2 Elbox towers and their Flyer Gold IDE interface and they are great bits of kit.  From what I gather, Hodges has written an excellent USB stack and it deserves to be supported.  However, the only way I am ever likely to purchase Chris' software is if I buy a product from Elbox.  I feel safer purchasing a product costing several hundred dollars from a company like Elbox than I do purchasing a license for EUR38 from an individual.  It's about time someone came to their senses and realised that bundling a licensed copy of the stack with the hardware direct from Elbox for a reduced (an guaranteed) EUR20 would benefit everyone and fight piracy of the software.
