How quick are you? 6 Prometheus for $139 each on eBay.

Well, I agree.  If there are no sound card drivers, or working fast ethernet drivers then it should not be mentioned on the "new owners" website.

The 133 MB/s (actually, 132 MB/s) is the theoretical maximum burst speed for a 33MHz PCI bus.  Remember, this is between cards on the PCI bus, and has nothing to do with DMA.  Also, actual throughput is always much lower.

FWIW, the Zorro III bus has a theoretical maximum burst speed of 150 MB/s according to Dave Haynie.

FWIR, Haynie said some where around 30 MB/s burst, 25 MB/s (it's only 16 bit bus, correct?) substained.  Zorro IV was going to be around 150 but he dumped the Zorro IV project for PCI when industry adopted PCI as a standard.  Gotta get thenostromo's search engine fixed, it's in it's db somewhere from TeamONE ML.

It's 32 bit, and my info is directly from a Dave Haynie post.  Note the "theoretical".  The actual speed is something like 30 MB/s for burst, and 20 MB/s for random with an A3000 bus controller.  So, to reach the theoretical 150 MB/s you'd need a much faster bus controller.

I am in contact with various driver developers, one of which has a fully finctional FM801 driver and partial working RTL8139 driver. I wouldn't put too much faith in attacks from a competitor who still markets the SharkPPC. Enough said.

Mark my words if I find any mysterious fatal hardware bugs that prevent busmatering I will be the first one to go public.

Well, in development does not mean available.  Right now your website says you can use them, which is false advertising.  I'm not basing my information on any "attacks", only what it says on your website. And, IMO, there is no difference between your vapor, and Elbox's.  "Enough said".

How can you call the SharkPPC purely vapor?  Releasing to developers is not mean general public.  They have said from the start that it will not be released until Amiga OS4 is released.  I find these statements libelous and demand to have them removed from this message board.

[adolescent]

1.  So is Amiga OS4.0.  Are you saying that is vapor also.
2.  I think it's improbable that you know all of the Elbox developers.  Did it say anywhere that they were giving it to Hyperion or other external developers?

We'll see if Wayne cleans your libelous comments.

1) It won an award for being a vapor product a couple times, so by definition yes.

2) Hyperion has made it clear that without hardware and documentation it cannot and will not be supported. I trust Hyperion to know their own product.

No support?  But... you just said it didn't exist...  Oh well, we'll have to wait and see.  Maybe OS4.0 will finally come out.  Maybe the Prometheus will finally get a working sound card or fast ethernet driver.  For now, it's just vapor and false advertising.  At least Elbox is just making promises, not taking peoples money.
