[News] Poseidon licencing ceasing on 01-Aug-03ANN.lu

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.

In reply to Comment 42 (Rat):
> First of all : Jacek commented on comment 37 and not 27

Yes, you are right. Thanks for correction.

> I was waiting for 4 months to get a new one... under guarantee of course...

My experience tells me that they react to all support issues very fast. Maybe you were using services of another dealer, who was not so fast.

Did you send this item to them directly?

>I can add that just 6 months after having bought he mroocheck, the interface died....

So you must have a guarantee for it.

> Elbox so announced support for Yamaha 744 sound cards... I so bought a board,
> but support never comes...

Where did you see such an announcement?

The very first announcement about Mediator PCI 1200 mentioned Elbox plan to offer PCI add-on cards bundled with drivers--this is the only place they mentioned Yamaha 744-based cards I saw.
The complete announcement by Elbox about it is here: http://www.elbox.com/news_00_06_08.html

> On the other hand I'm a good friend of Open PCI coder Titan, and I
> know what is his relationship with Elbox... very bad for a coder who
> can help them having more customers...as elbox make him retire code to
> support mediator in latest openPCI version...

AFAIK Titan is very tiny in driver development. Elbox already have all the drivers announced by Titan.

> I just remember elbox employees : we're a hardware company not a
> software company... spider, shark, soundblaster, realtek NIC, voodoo3,
> oh, they didn't built cards... only drivers....

What is your problem in this case?
They produce many good hardware items, see http://www.elbox.com/products.html

> Concerning the email, i'm helping genesi, yes, but that doesn't mean
> I'm an employee...

I have not written that you are their employee.

> So that's why I feel angry against Hellbox...

So you think this is satisfactory reason to congratulate a person who wants to let down Mediator users?
