On the A1200?  Funny that you're so concerned about a product that doesn't have any support that you continuously troll any Elbox news.


I think you are looking at this the wrong way. Elbox is promoting hardware based on software they do not have a license for. Promoting piracy is a good thing? Just my personal opinion.

@red

Where in this post did Elbox promote piracy? For the people that already registered Poseidon this is a new driver (and an announcement that OS4 drivers are being developed.).


Elbox is promoting a product that is still available for sale on their website, with the following description.

Note: The Poseidon USB Stack is a software solution that unleashes the possibilities of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the devices with USB interface, ranging from mice, keyboards, tablets, joysticks, printers, scanners, webcams, digicams, flash card readers, zip drives, floppy disk drives, harddisks, memory sticks, ethernet adapters, scanners and audio adapters to less common things like power supplies, GPS location devices or finger print readers. The unregistered Poseidon stack software is available at Aminet. You can use the Poseidon Online Registration Form for registration.

For some years now Poseidon has not been legally licensable for Elbox products. Look at TNovosel's post below and you can see why I understand platon42's objections. Someone buys an $83+ piece of hardware just to find they can't use it at all unless they use pirate software.
