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.

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

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

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? |
