Elbox ONLINE-SHOP SharkPPC + : Comment 31 of 38 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Alfred Schwarz on 19-Sep-2002 11:19 GMT | In reply to Comment 25 (Rob): No, I DON'T say drivers should be free because drivers in Windows are "free".
I know the Amiga market and I'm spending money for software, drivers etc.
The ripp off in the USB-deal is:
You have to buy Mediator (OK)
You have to buy MMCD (I never got into this MMCD thing, the adverts of Elbox always sounded like drivers will be free) to get *unregistered* Poseidon (USB-Stack, which is needed for using USB) (NOT OK)
You have to buy the Spider card from Elbox to get the USB driver that works with Poseidon (OK)
You have to register Poseidon to make the USB card useable (NOT OK)
It should be:
Buy Mediator
Buy Spider card from Elbox (including everything is needed to use the card)
So Elbox is selling a "special" USB card for use in Mediator that is useless until you register the USB stack; there's a statement from the Poseidon author on the Mediator list that he's also not very pleased with Elbox, he thought the driver should be for standard USB cards, not for a "special one".
And about the Turboprint thing: I've seen many Amiga dealers that sell printers bundled with Turboprint, feel free to ask me for examples.
Ciao, Alfred |
