There was also the controversy over P96 Voodoo drivers and the ongoing lack of info re OS4 and SharkPPC. On one hand we have Elbox saying "we're waiting for the software" and on the other we have Hyperion saying "we've not been approached, OS4 won't work with the SharkPPC".
I don't know if Hyperion has been approached or not (I think I would know if we have, but I don't need to know all the details ;-) ). However, either Thomas or myself would be the person to make the adaption, i.e. the guy that gets the prototype hardware to stick into an existing Amiga to actually make it run.
No, it won't run automatically. You cannot just put the AmigaOne version on the thing (unless you adapt the boot loader, it would fail with such trivialities as the layout of the U-Boot data structure). Even
if it would be made to run, it would be completely illegit unless there is a license for it.
Bottom line, no, unless we get a SharkPPC to actually do some work, nothing will happen. If they want to wait until OS 4 is finished, that's OK with me, but it will surely take some time to make any sort of adaption (one months is the rough estimate I've given before) so I don't really see the point in waiting for a final release.
