Producing (or announcing only) small batches of any Amiga hardware it is quite normal. What is worst is constant announcement of many projects and later they never see a day light.

Why to announce something at super early dev. stages? Publicity? If someone have resources to produce something and is convinced there is (or will be!) demand for it, why simply not to make it and deliver to distributors and sell it?

But at the same time it is happening in Amiga environment for like 20 years and I'm still Amiga user :D. Maybe I need medical help.

... if there is a secret group of users of the Shark PPC, for example?  :laughing:


I think we are in "next stage" of being Amiga users... the Chosen One.

Not quite, but damned close.
What we need are new cards of a similar design.
1 GHz would be easy with the G4 chips that are still available.

Legacy hardware with PPCs about as powerful (or more so if you count the standard fpu) as Tabor anyone?

Exactly, but we got sound card from A-EON. When I think about it for a like 2 sec. question becomes like: WHY? WHY?

People are making amazing stuff, sure, so there is talent to do things. At the same time, why nobody can develop PPC board (like a Sonnet 7200) for hundreds of Mediator/Grex Amiga users... that would actually play mp3 files quite well.

It is funny Phase 5 resurfaced(?) and I hear about Blizzard PPC II. This people were making G3 card for old Macs? I can't imagine how well my old Amiga would run with G3/500Mhz... or G4!
