A summary of an email I sent to Elbox:
1) Congratulations on releasing the Shark PPC card long before anyone expected it!
2) Since AFAIK it requires OS4.0, I'm confused what the point would be of buying one now.
3) In the past, some Amiga companies have chosen to release products that buck well-established standards, leaving us with proprietary RDB's, non-autoconfig ram, and software that needlessly fails under newer OS's. I am very reluctant to go down this road again. If you want me as a customer, send Hyperion hardware samples or get official developer docs from them. Don't be cheap.
4) I refuse to use technologies like AC97, software modems, etc., and hope in the future you'll consider replacing the AC97 hardware on the Shark+ with something more useful...like maybe firewire or an 8MB flash ROM so we can have a proper Kickstart installation again. Don't blindly follow the PC industry's love of flakey hardware.
