The next issue of the Amiga Plus magazine should contain a review about the three flashrom solutions available (Algor/Romulus, KickFlash and eFlash4000). Maybe the Total Amiga magazine should also do a comparison.
From what I know (!), USB booting is only possible with the Algor/Highway+Romulus, but not with the Spider PCI cards. Unless Elbox changed their PCI stuff significantly, there's no way initializing the PCI cards before DOS is available, hence no booting via USB. In their first versions of their firmware, Poseidon could not even be flashed at all. I don't know, if this has changed by now. A happy eFlash4000 user to confirm Elbox' PR gags is still to be found in the wild
About Elbox stating in their ads here on amiga.org that eFlash4000 would be the "most advanced FlashROM solution"... well, do you believe in commercials or independent reviews and user's personal experience?
Well, you'll find out soon enough. Don't hesitate to report back.
