Help needed with Subway Problems

[mboehmer_e3b]

 This is a well known problem when mixing products from **bo* with IC ones.

There was an announcement of Elbox press speaker including such a threat quite some time ago, but I have never ever received any message from one of my customers which indicated that these illegal software blocks would have been enabled. And we have quite some people out there which use both products.

I would not call this "well known". For me it is still just a barking dog, not a smoking gun.

Do you have any indications for such a behaviour? Did you encounter such problems yourself?
Anyone else out there having troubles running hardware of Elbox and E3B together in one system?

BTW, the SUBWAY is not from individual computers, but from E3B. Even if Jens is offering them, this nice little USB controller comes from E3B :-)

@Bubba: there is a test program for the clockport - please contact me by mail for getting it. You will have to boot your machine at least into a shell for using it.

The Subway, unfortunately, is a different story.  I have not been able to get it to work at all, in either machine.  I've tried clockports on an X-surf, BuddhaIDE and a Kickflash, and the A1200 MB.  Frankly, its been very frustrating and I've pretty much given up.

Why didn't you contact me on this issue? We are offering support, no matter if first hand or second hand hardware is involved.

If we don't know you've got a problem we can't help you.

All clockports you mentioned (A1200 MB, X-surf, BuddhaIDE and Kickflash) are known to work perfectly with the SUBWAY, and have been successfully tested here. Moreover, quite some people use a similar setup without any problem.

Are you sure that you did connect the SUBWAY in the correct orientation? There are explicit manuals for both Xsurf and Buddha cards on our web site. If turned by 180 degree the SUBWAY will shortcircuit some system signals which could lead to the problem you described (anyhow, you will notice the shortcircuit very soon... that's why we provide a manual with the card, some pictures on how to connect everything the right way and support by email, in case something is left unclear.

Please contact me by PM (mboehmere3b.de) so we can get your SUBWAY running.
