They (Elbox) denied using RDB klling code in their software, then admitted to it, lied again, also never made a public apology , then claimed it was a anti piracy measure (nonsence), eventually removed it but the damage has been done and that alone makes them scum.

Then you have the thing with Hodges etc.

Whats the thing with hodges? I seem to be out of the loop...

[Cyberus]

{bleep}! Right, I can see where you're coming from now.

I thought this was meant to primarily a hobby platform?

All of this is news to me also.

Your math is a little off, but I think you have the right idea.  If speed matters, get the FastATA as it is 4-5x faster (dependent on CPU).  If you want the equivelent speed of the A4000 onboard IDE plus a clockport, then get the Buddha.  Both take a significant CPU hit during transfers.  I'd like to see a DMA IDE controller, but I don't think it's ever going to happen.  For now the alternative is to use a SCSIDE adapter to take advantage of both DMA and cheap IDE devices.

Well, here in sweden, an Elbox FastATA ZIII card costs 985 SEK ( roughly 105 € ) while a Buddha Flash costs 575 SEK ( roughly 60 € ). The Elbox card isn´t exactly x2 the price of the Buddha, but I only stated that it was _nearly_ twice as expensive...  :-)

I wont get it to it all but Elbox tried to screw Hodges with the Poseidon and the Elbox driver policy, Elbox aint the good guys like the brainwashed Amigans want you to believe.

A quote

I stopped taking registrations, because Elbox treated me badly (as a summary) and I hoped, that they would change their mind. I should have known better. They kept selling their cards, even though they knew that the users wouldn't be able to use them. They didn't care at all about the users and their fate.

All this bad Elbox press has me concerned. Should I hold off on purchasing any of their *other* products?!? Unfortunately, there aren't many other companies offering Tower and PCI expansion kits.

I've done a lot of reading and have followed the arguments, tiresome that they are, and am just :-?
