Why do I have to buy PoseidonUSB v2.x for Spider II from ELBOX?

Dear Mr. Tjaoz,

no  answers, just repetitions. As expected from you.
Just two quotesfrom you  to show it.

The USB stack is not included in the WalMart card price.
The USB stack, which is necessary for using this card is the part of the Microsoft Windows or the Apple Mac OS system.
You should add the part of Windows or Mac OS price to the Walmart card price if you compare it to Spider II + Drivers + Poseidon.

Such calculation of controller's price is a clear nonsens!
It is obvious that Spider is being bought by those who have PCI slots (or PCI and Zorro slots), while Zorro2 controllers are being bought by those who do not have PCI slots.
Logical and natural, isn't it? It does not mean anything how much their computers used to be some time ago.

In one posting, you demand that all parts necessary for running a product need to be taken into account, in the next you deny it - according what is more convinient to you.
Quite twisted. What should one do now ?
Think about it, take a decision and then come back.

Regarding price of Zorro slots: nice try, but as you state above: it is obvious the ALGOR is not bought by those who don't have Zorro slots. If they have A1200, they own a clockport and go for a SUBWAY.

Err Olegil you cant bum me out - the driver never needs to touch the RDB.  Only the likes of HDToolBox, etc need to touch it.

There is a difference in the way legitimate RDB occurence would take place when compared to ELBOX self-destruct and if you are a programmer you can instantly recognise this.......

Hello Michael,

Can't you see the difference between hardware (Zorro slots, PCI slots) and software (Poseidon stack, USB stack in MacOS, USB stack in Windows)?

I am talking about the subject of this thread that is including price of USB software when USB hardware price is compared.

You are suggesting adding part of computer price when comparing price for USB controllers.
This is utter nonsense.

Dear Mr. Tjaoz,

so in your opinion only software prices are to be taken into account, if they are needed, but not the hardware necessary for running the software or at least adding the hardware under comparison to your computer ?
Somehow twisted...

You are suggesting adding part of computer price when comparing price for USB controllers.

The PCI board is not part of the computer, but an expansion board added lateron. Zorro slots / clockports are part already in the base device.

I do not add part of the computer price, but part of an expansion board price. Can you follow me ?

Thanks to Chris for his exelent Poseidon software, it works 100%

Thanks to ELBOX for their Spider USB, it works 100%

@Dr. Righteous

I hope you can see absurdity of your comments to my summary.

Right. Spider is the best/cheapest solution.

And, a Mediator isn't a piece of hardware that runs only spider usb.... AGAIN: my mediator (old 1200 model) saves my 1200. With Tvcard (and Tickly software), Sb128, Ethernet card (adsl connection) and a old but great Voodoo3 i use my amiga to work, play, music..... My father says me times ago: "find the way to connect your stupid amiga to the adsl-lan and buy a decent gfx-card, or i'll kick you and your 1200 out of my home". My father is a stupid (no doubt about it) but Mediator is THE BEST Hardware piece i ever buy for my Amy.
