I never thought they would actually come up with something, but I'm not convinced yet.
Why is there no picture of it showing the whole board ? Doesn't those few pins on the top right of the second picture look like part of a PCI connector ? So is this just an industrial PCI/Coldfire risercard with an Elbox label (just like the Sonnet 7200 that should go for the SharkPPC). There is nothing wrong with it, but how should someone add this to an Amiga ??

I will only belive in it's existence if you show me a picture of it actually connected to an Amiga (if it will only sit around and do nothing but draw power from the PSU is a different story)
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Well what is stated on the Elbox page is the theoretical maximum of the hardware itself.
DDR-RAM is capeable to trasfer data at...
Coldfire ha s a raw performance of...
That doesn't say one bit about how it would performe when it is put together and mounted to an Amiga running unter AmigaOS / drivers and with 68k emulationlibrary.

In theory the VooDoo3 in current Amiga-PCI boards should performe way better then it does in real live.

And I still don't belive it exists yet. I don't doubt the existence of the thing on the picrure, but I doubt that it is an actual running Amigaexpansionboard.
