Elbox announced Spider USB drivers for Amithlon
Elbox Computer is pleased to announce completion of the development of the new Spider drivers. New drivers for the Spider USB 2.0 PCI cards extend the range of supported hardware with computers running AmigaOS under Amithlon.

'Amithlon users have overwhelmingly and repeatedly told us they absolutely wanted the features of the USB 2.0 standard as soon as the Spider USB 2.0 card entered the market,' said Darek Smietana, support manager at Elbox. 'We are proud to deliver our sophisticated and innovative USB hardware to Amithlon users. Now they can enjoy all the benefits of the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed functionality in their systems. Needless to say, we are again following our basic business rule with this step: to give to users more than they could expect.'

The new USB driver is enclosed in the Spider CD bundled with the new version of the Spider USB 2.0 card, whose availability will be announced in the coming days.

For more info about Spider, see the Spider USB 2.0 card website. (ps)

Mexikon: Cactus lexicon in HTML format
Under the title link you can find a.o.t. 'Mexikon', a lexicon on cactuses with many tips and suggestions. It also contains maps of Mexico and photos of more than 650 cactuses.

Since end of November 2002 version 3.1 of Mexikon has been available, and as we haven't covered it yet, we are herewith gladly catching up on this. Egon Münch has completely revised the cactus lexicon, fixed various errors and added new descriptions and photos. Furthermore MEXIKON doesn't use AmigaGuide anymore, but has become more platform independent by now supporting the HTML format, so every user can utilise the lexicon with an Internet browser.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the fact that MEXIKON is and will stay freeware. (ps) (Translation: cb)
