So, how about the PM7200.
The sonnetcard for this MAC looks exactly like the card Elbox once showed (although is hat a shark logo on the cooler)
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/crescendo_7200.htmlAnd judjeing from the looks of this picture the card is at last physically compatible to a PCI-Slot. The other PCI-MACs had the notch in the middle of their processorslot (I have one PM7600 right before me), this card as you can clearly see has the notch at exactly the same place as a PCI-card would.
On Top this acceleartor is the only that has the possibility of adding RAM directly to the card as due to a "fault" in the design of the 7200 the onboard-RAM could not be accesed from this accelerator.
I do not doubt that you could hack this card to work in an Mediator but I really doubt that Elbox will do it.
There is simply no point in doing it, it would cost less then an AOne: right, it would cost less then an AOne lite: maybe.
But it won`t come close to the power of even the discontiued AOne SE, especially since the + will never come `cos Sonnet doesn`t produce such a card.
You don`t belive Elbox will really design or even redesign a processorcard, do you ?. Since the end of P5 no one did design a Processorcard for the Amiga. If it would have been that easy do you think DCE would have simply replicated the P5 PPC-cards without enhanceing it even only in terms of clockspeed an RAM-interface ? If they, who had quite some knowledge on those things and the productionhardware didn`t do it, how do you expect Elbox to pull that stunt ?
