My solution is to obtain an unlocked version by whatever means necessary if CH refuses to register and unlock your copy on the grounds that you own an Elbox product.



How about support for all users prior to and since the
controversy through a mediator, a neutral party. Someone
like AmigaKit come's to mind. A "go between" that could
handle the transactions allowing Mr. Hodge's to continue
to sell his software, which is why he made it, Elbox to
continue to sell Spider's, which is why they offer them,
eliminate the friction/disagreements that result from
direct contact between the 2, they both continue to profit
and the end user/customer isn't jammed in to the middle
of a situation he shouldn't be in in the first place?
Just a question/suggestion.

hopefully find a thread that we can all agree on like OS4 on the Efika.  

Off topic, sorry, but anything with the stink of Bill Buck on it is most definitely not something "we" can all agree on

I read "Efika", and all I can think is what Bill Buck really means is, "I'll f*** ya"

OpenPCI (and ArakAttack) works now.  
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Hmm, so what the mighty-warm-place-ruled-by-a-guy-with-horns-and-hoofs is all this fuss about ?

Buy 10Euro USB-card
Get ArakAttack
Get Poseidon-key

Don't go over start, don't cash in 4000$ and don't pay the hellbox-tax.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

We're all entitled to those opinions, and I respect yours.  Bill McEwen on the other hand did not {bleep} you or me personally out of over $10,000.  The same cannot be said by me about Buck.

What a great loss to the Amiga community. :lol:

I give it a week before Amigaworld.net do the same (and that's being generous).
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Windows-free since 2011-2014 (Damn you Netflix!)

Yeah, but OpenPCI doesn't work with the Mediator 1200 version, just the A4000 version.  You can see the USB card, it just won't initialize under Poseidon.  Believe me, I've tried just about every card out there (VIA, NEC, Opti, AcerLabs, etc.) and neither USB 2.0 or 1.1/1.0 works on the Mediator 1200.  A crying shame I say.

I wonder why Elbox never just rebadged and resold Voodoo3000 cards using the same tactic as with the Spider?  I just bought my Voodoo card (and a Soundblaster, NIC, etc.) on eBay and it works right out of the box.
