Poseidon USB Sources Released under APL
« on: August 27, 2009, 04:12:12 PM »
Following the implementation of bounty requirements and transfer of bounty payment, the source codes for Poseidon USB are now available under the terms of AROS Public License.

The Poseidon USB Stack, previously available for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS, is now also available for AROS and brings vast support for USB 1.1 and 2.0 chipsets. The Poseidon is already included in the latest version of Icaros distribution. Download and enjoy.

Thanks go to everyone who contributed to this major achievement, from people donating the money and Chris working on port to AROS developers making minor bug fixes and finally AROS users testing numerous alpha and beta versions.

Source codes are available for download in the main AROS source package.

Seems that some users still don't understand the economic realities of the Amiga: low production volumes = high prices

But my Algor, Deneb, and Poseidon registration have been worth every penny. The absolute best USB software of any platform I've used.

I am the happy owner of a Subway USB-stack, and I absolutely love the fact that anything I have used together with my Subway has worked so far. I have tried USB-sticks, an external DVD-player, optical mice, and a drawing tablet. And all of it worked flawlessly. (The Wacom tablet actually does not work that well with Vista Ultimate 64bit (with the originall driver!) :-)).

So thank you Chris for making the software so versatile, reliable and friendly. You and Michael Böhmer sincerly deserves respect for such a nice hardware/software combo!

The release of this driver as open-source will ensure that Aros will get a significant boost with this USB-stack!

Chris Hodges is the master of USB!

His stack won't fry your USB ports like OSX likes to do when the usb device has a shortcircuit :-D

Why? The APL clearly states that everyone is free to do with the sources (nearly) whatever they want to. I would be surprised if there wasn't a back-port to 68k soon to make the Spider and Amithlon work again. Some people donated for exactly that reason.

Good answer, although I think we all know which finger Elb*x would use in answer to the APL. (I haven't read it but once. Can they use the stack with closed source drivers?)
