Nahh - not really.
In the meantime I noticed that on their website Elbox say that the SharkPPC will be available in Q1 2007...

I presume that is solar system #2007 in the 1st Quadrant of the Milky Way.

We are in solar system #6823 in the 4th Quadrant, so I guess we'll have to wait a few more eons for the SharkPPC to arrive on our planet...

Thanks! I didnt know it had been released until I saw this thread ! I've been offline pretty much over the chrimbo period (families an' all that!) and not checked the news much.

just downloaded it (took nearly 3 hours at 56k !), but not had chance to install it - wifey's fault! playtime tonight!

Don't hold your breath..

2000 news proclaiming Jan 2001 release (http://web.archive.org/web/20010513230057/www.elbox.com/SharkPPC/)

The first SharkPPC G3/G4 cards for developers will be available by end of November, with production planned to commence in January 2001.

Only 6 years late and counting...

Hmmm - I remember of them mentioning an (appearently still valid) pre-condition for this to happen:
SharkPPC+ (Elbox computers) (http://www.buy.elbox.com/cgibin/shop?info=330SP1G)

Yes - but I would account that to the late release of OS4...
