Mediator is very slow. How can Mediator supports a SharkPPC with G3/G4 and GHz... The performance is very bad? DMA between PCI devices is pretty fast, and supposed to be twice as fast when the Shark is present. The only slow transfers are between PCI devices and the Amiga motherboard. This would become a total non-issue if OS4 is running on the Shark (access to the motherboard would only be for legacy applications, and access to Zorro cards which are designed for a slower bus anyway). With your RAM, CPU, video card and storage all on the PCI side of the mediator, you'll have a very fast system indeed, but one which still has an AGA (or ECS on the 3000) chipset for legacy apps, Zorro slots (on 3000 or 4000) for Amiga cards (and some of them are still pretty useful, like the Video toaster, VLab Motion, Repulse, etc.) I suggest you go back and read the specs for PCI to PCI DMA on the mediator. Oh, and your forgetting that with the SharkPPC+, UDMA IDE, USB, and sound are all available on a local bus, so potentially even faster again (just like cyberstorm SCSI is VERY fast because its right near the processor and RAM and doesn't have to go through the Amiga motherboard).
