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 87 of 94 | ANN.lu |

I was just trying to catch your attention, but it seems as if I caought it too
well with that sentence since you didn't care to read the rest of my message
or check the facts.

>Man, Algor produced by Michael Boehmer is not an USB _device_ but an USB _host >controller_. Can you see the difference?
Sigh! I meant device in the general sentence as 'some thing you plug into
something else'
But since you are so nitpicky perhaps you should know that in the USB
specification, there is nothing in the USB spec that specifies the physical
behaviour of the host controler. It is defined by the USB Hub specification
which describes the behaviour of the root hub which is the lower endpoint of
the host controller.
>How an USB _host controller_ may be compliant with the High-Speed USB 2.0 >_specification_ and at the same time cannot provide support for High-Speed >mode?
Man, can't you read your own words??? USB2.0 does not equal to 480 kbps
transfer rate!
Now, would you please be so kind and download the USB2.0 specification and
clarify to the rest of us where it sais that USB2.0 compliance means mandatory
Hi-Speed transfers.
I cannot find anywhere where the Algor card is labeled a USB 2.0 Host controller
or a Hi Speed Root Hub. All I can find is that it is a Full Speed Hub (ie no
high speed) compliant with the 2.0 specification
