Q1 08 and still counting but here's to hoping they do. I'd buy both the mediator bus and it to have PPC for OS 4. Then I'd just need a case for it to all fit in.

Pure fanatasy to boost sales of their PCI slot solution.

Elbox does not have a license for OS4. Hyperion does not have a license for OS4 and certianly does not have a license to port OS4 to any aditional hardware.

Just file it under V for Vapor.

I think their script to automatically bump the availability date is broken.

Shark is actually Sonnet Crescendo 7200 (http://www.sonnettech.com/product/crescendo_7200.html) in case you didn't know this.

Yes it's true. It is not available, just as the website states.

Piru, so if someone would code drivers for this, then the Crescendo 7200 would work in the Amiga via PCI-BUS?

This has been discussed to death in other forums and posts but basically yes. It might need different firmware for the card itself to work with the PCI bus expansions available for the amiga though.

Also the prices are a bit steep at over $450 for what was a $99 card before sonnet sold out of them  :-o
