Elbox responds to attacks on its latest graphics card drivers. Read more below.
- The latest Elbox driver for the Voodoo3 chipset is a proprietary
and independent software solution written by Elbox programmers,
without any support or help on part of any outside team of programmers, developers or companies.
- All legal rights for the Voodoo3 driver are property of Elbox
Computer company. Actually, P96 authors did not acquire rights for this software (although our driver provides added value to P96, no doubt). We are open to further negotiations.
- The Voodoo3 ver. 1.0 driver (available now for MEDIATOR PCI registered users) is 100% compatible with the P96 graphic system.
- Elbox does not distribute P96 software, which is available from other sources, e.g. from Amiga OS 3.5 CD-ROMs.
- P96 is shareware, paid by the users. Elbox provides expanded
capacities for P96 and as for now does not want to be paid for it from P96 authors (the Voodoo3 driver is free for registered users of MEDIATOR PCI).
- Development of Elbox Voodoo3 drivers will be continued and updated and they will be made compatible with OTHER graphic systems, too.
- If the P96 authors team decide to try to make efforts to block
MEDIATOR operation with future P96 graphic system releases (strange
enough, as Elbox drivers indirectly helps P96 authors in their own
business…), Elbox will provide a completely NEW, modern and expandable graphic system (soon…).
- Drivers for other graphic chipsets are under development now and will be provided by Elbox.
- Support for all the drivers written by Elbox team of programmers IS and will be provided by Elbox Computer.
- Every user of MEDIATOR, who wants to use any graphic card based
around a chipset supported by Elbox, will be free to choose which
graphic system to use… and then pay the appropriate shareware fee
if this is P96.
FOR EVERY 'BAD NEWS' WE HAVE TEN GOOD NEWS.
