I can see from different Amiga forums, that many people wanted to have at least one PPC card for their Amiga to run even AmigaOS 4.0.
So here comes a simple question:
How about gathering an x-number of preorders about the SharkPPC cards from Elbox? I don't know if they have the prototype, but as I can see from their website and the photo attached, I think they have it. (According to the simple version of SharkPPC, not the plus (+) version, as I can see there is no photo).
I guess that this card is abandoned (?) and the prototype might be far for being 100% complete to run on an Amiga equipped with a Mediator.
Maybe if we send them an email, that x-people want to preorder this card, maybe they can do something. It's obvious that a news regarding that "SharkPPC cards will be available to the Amiga community" a lot of people will buy it, right?
It's just my guess. I suppose Elbox knows what is going on about the Amiga market, and I'm sure that a lot of us want to buy a new PPC card to run AmigaOS 4.0.
This thread was first started from our community (
www.amigahellas.gr) and to tell the truth, we are 10 people till know that they want to preorder this card.
But I thought, that a thread in an international forum like amiga.org it would be much better.
Thanks for your reading, and I'm waiting your comments.
P.S.: Even if Elbox sometime decide to continue with the preorder of these cards, we can ask Hyperion about a patch maybe, so we can run AmigaOS 4.0 with SharkPPC cards.
