Elbox ONLINE-SHOP SharkPPC + : Comment 28 of 38ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 23 (tinman):

The theory is fun, but the reality is an other thing ;)
And I think that Mediator will need always a classic Amiga motherboard to run, because Mediator has been designed especially for classic Amiga motherboards...

There is an other problem : the performances/results of Mediator are very bad. Mediator is very slow. How can Mediator supports a SharkPPC with G3/G4 and GHz...
> Of course, as has been said, you still need an OS :)
Exactly ;)
No OS, no SharkPPC ;)
The Mediator is available for 2 years now, and Elbox has announced the SharkPPC for the consumers for 1.5 years, of course always delayed, month by month.
Elbox has nothing (OS, soft,...) to run a SharkPPC on the Mediator, and they aren't able to develop it (otherwise SharkPPC would be available for many months now). Develop drivers for gfx/sound/TV/ethernet PCI cards is not the same thing than to develop the system for a SharkPPC.
And of course SharkPPC exists, but Elbox has nothing designed for this card. These cards (PPC on PCI) exist (on Mac, PC) for a long time... ;)
