Matt. Have you contacted elbox about it. From my experience one can talk to them. Maybe i could mediate being polish after all:-). But its you who would have to explain the problem. Do you have a solution in mind?
Because i suspect there is too few v4 users for them to care. Or they want to sell out own v3 stock.
Elbox's voodoo.card P96 driver should work for both the Voodoo 3 and Voodoo 4-5. The Voodoo 4-5 VSA-100/Napalm chipset is mostly backward compatible with the Voodoo 3 Avenger chipset but the initialization and setup is different. I believe Elbox only sells Radeon gfx cards. There is little reason for them to sabotage the Voodoo 4-5 compatibility. I believe I did report the distorted color problem a long time ago and never received a reply. They did respond to a problem I had with a dead on arrival ethernet card from them and they removed the charge from my bill. I have had mixed results dealing with them. They do seem to be bad at losing e-mails, maybe sometimes to their aggressive spam filter. I have not reported the most recent problems with their voodoo.card or pci.library but they may know about it. I think Cosmos has been communicating with them. He may be the one who asked for the change in the initialization setup so that the thousands of BYTEREV/Swizzle inlines are unnecessary in the W3D Avenger drivers. I let Cosmos know about the Voodoo 4 problems as well as posting about the problems on different Amiga forums. I get the impression that Elbox wants to provide the minimum of support and maximize their profits. I don't like their proprietary/closed software and standards attitude either. I think they would sell more products if they supported OpenPCI, AROS, generic USB cards (instead of charging for a generic USB card with a modified ROM), etc. and had a good reputation in the Amiga community that users wanted to support. I know you would like to see some of the same. Their hardware products are good. Good luck changing their attitude though, even if you are also Polish.
