Due to reasons I will not explain here further (ask me in private),
Poseidon keyfiles cannot be bought after 01-Aug-03. People having just
bought an USB card, that does not come with an OEM Licence, have the
chance to register Poseidon until the end of this month.
Support for existing users is NOT affected and will continue as usually.
It is recommended that dealers stop selling USB cards without licence to
avoid angry customers buying an useless piece of hardware, until the
vendor delivers his own software solution or the situation is solved
somehow.

Poseidon licencing ceasing on 01-Aug-03 : Comment 55 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Phill on 22-Jul-2003 17:48 GMT | In reply to Comment 49 (Stefan): >Let me correct you, Mr Idiot. There is no way today to sell a device >compliant with the USB 1.1 spec. It is not supported any longer. If you sell >an USB device, you _have_ to make it 2.0 compliant.
Well, the only reason why you don't see much stating usb 1.1 anymore is the standard group officially said that anything that only supported usb 1.1 should be renamed to usb 2.0 compliant. Apparently it stops confusion as people would think they couldn't use a 2.0 device on their 1.1 motherboard. However it's just marketing.
All usb devices are usb 2.0 compliant, even the usb 1.1 ones that came out years ago. In the same way as your old 20mb drive from 1990 is probably ATA133 compliant.
Some companies are still being nice and only quoting usb 1.1 if they were designed with old chips that came out before usb 2.0. |
