Well, I reckon this is no april's fool. However, I think Kronos is right about most people having USB onboard already anyway. So why not wait for Titan or me (now that I've got a Pegasos, I actually could do some PCI driver development) to write a PCI driver which is not bound to the IMHO overpriced hardware Elbox is selling.
Well, you may well have better info than I have, but my guess was based on logic. Technically, Elbox may well be capable of writing this low-level driver, but in practical terms this means making use of a PCi library. The original Amithlon library would require them to get a SDK off HF, with whom they have very bad relations, or else use the OpenPCI library, which they don't want to support. Both are possible, but unlikely.
Heh, does anyone mind Elbox not having a licence for using Poseidon? Their development keyfile has been revoked and they never registered the program.
Does anyone mind Elbox not stating anywhere that they only provide the low-level hardware driver and that the USB support only available through Poseidon?
Well, you'll notice that I did raise the issue of the USB stack earlier. We're not insensitive to the situation between Elbox and you, you know.
I will continue to treat this announcement as an April Fool until someone proves me wrong.
