Sorry, but what is the point in posting this ?

There is NO OS to run on that HW.

Sofar they refused to send one to Hyperion, and there "It'll just
run the A1-version"-babble doesn't make any sense because:

That version won't be sold shrink-wrapped.
That version won't have any drivers for accessing the classic HW.
They don't have a licence (they arte only in the list of those who talked
about a licence).
Acessing the clasic through the Mediator will probraly need lots of
changes in the 68k-emu,kernel and HAL.
Hyperion are the only ones who could do that, and I somehow doubt
they would have time for it in the forseeable future.

Elbox flat-out refuses to cooperate with MOS or even Linux.

So having a Shark in your Amiga is just a very expensive form of
room-heating, plus maybe a nice thing to look at  :-P
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
