You can try to find a modified NEC USB card where the manufacturer code is changed to the one ELBOX picked, find a card supported by the openPCI library and then find the documentation on how to set it up, or pay $90 USD plus $40 shipping for a Spider II.

I'd get a Spider II from a Elbox now that their in stock. Supporting current Amiga manufacturers can only be a good thing for Future developments & support.

Look at it this way it's still 2 x cheaper than a used Subway USB !

Are they in stock?  I don't see them on the AmigaKit website.  I have a real Spider II and a hacked USB card and they both work well (lots of USB ports on my machine).  If you do track down a hacked card then you also have to find the older drivers for it, because the new Mediator drivers won't work.

Oops, my bad!  I misdefined "cheap" as being inexpensive.

Just post a wanted ad on Amibay for a flashed USB card for a Mediator. Usually go for $20-$40 USD :-)

I purchased a card a while back, this is the original purchase thread. from memory it's an open pci library supported card that I bought.

Let me know how you get on, will take a look and see if I can find my card. I put some items away for storage, so will have a dig.

This isn't true, the hacked cards DO work with newest spider.device.
