its just for the 3.3v needed by shark(sonnet) cards then
If that was the case, just where exactly are they going to get a bunch of Sonnet cards from? I doubt Elbox having been stockpiling them.
They probably had a particular PCI card in mind when they decided to implement 3.3v, my guess would be a SiI SATA card.
Edit: The Sonnet Crescendo/7200 appears to be a 5V card anyway.
