They make other things than Amiga products and their website is so outdated that it is filled with useless crap. After reading the "useless" crap in the translate page, the author should go on the radio with Rush Limbaugh and make money complaining without ever attempting to run for office.

But lets stay with technology and avoid politics and religion.

wow, it sounds that someone is fascinated by a communism disease

majsta · 28 May 2013, 17:26

I was just wondering didn't elbox turned into ElboxLeaks

majsta · 28 May 2013, 18:35

So it is repaired so conclusion someone from elbox visits this site so next question will be how can you sleep after so much promises made regarding accelerator cards for Amiga ?

Cymru · 28 May 2013, 19:05

Er, "useless crap" that should be pruned from their website (if they actually "cared," mind you).

@majsta

Well at least they are still here and continuing to make new manufacturing runs.

I will be placing an order soon for a new Mediator and Fast ATA card for my A4000T, it is nice to know I can buy these brand new and won't have to resort to eBay/Amibay, expecting to pay 3x the original purchase price which seems to be the norm for recently discontinued hardware.

roy bates · 28 May 2013, 21:35

Yes it was mentioned by elbox in a past thread, and I do recall times meditaors being out of stock.

Yea exactly me point, elbox gear is not 3x it's normal price now because you can still buy them brand new! Now contrast that with something like a Subway USB card, old retail price £70.00, new used price £200 plus. The Deneb was originally £120.00 and now people are asking up to £300.00!

roy bates · 28 May 2013, 22:06

youll always get the person who gets one and as soon as they stop a run of it ,it suddenly turns up for sale somewhere at a high price.

the thing is, peaple arnt forced to buy it.

Could be this reason....they removed the crap.

Cymru · 30 May 2013, 19:35

Did they remove the Shark references?

majsta · 30 May 2013, 19:41

They should remove everything they promised and didn't produced. I m so sick of their promises and the bombastic prices that I just had to go into hardware development. It is cheaper for me to invest in research and development of Amiga to PCI bus than to buy one Mediator.

I almost agree with You at one exception - software - issue are drivers and this is not limited to Amiga but overall to all open source/DIY projects - simply lack of specs, "security by obscurity" - this protect "precious" secrets - nowadays even RAM chips full datasheet are not easily available - other example - Raspberry PI - nice, cheap HW to for example create Amiga Ethernet board with TCP/IP stack to release MC68K or even to run web browser, accelerate video, create virtual graphic card... lack of datasheets and all you can do is use simple frame buffer without acceleration etc etc etc.

Anyone got a copy/screenshot of what was there?

Cymru · 31 May 2013, 02:48

Probably not. It was just another Manifesto rant about politics.
