As well as what Piru said, there's the practical side to consider. Even if by some miracle these Sharks come out and work with OS4, who's really going to pay close on the price of an AmigaONE motherboard (and probably more expensive than a Pegasos) for a PPC card? Think about all those horrible 1991 A1200 bottlenecks. PIO HD access (ARGH), slow memory bandwidth, the works. Why pay so much money for a card that's going to be able to reach about 20% of its true potential in an ancient Amiga, an ancient Amiga that could die any time soon?

Actually Elbox has said that the Shark (or was that the Shark + only?) was an all computer in itself, with access to classic hardware. So there you go, one more PPC choice.


You shouldn't believe everything Elbox say.

It's cheaper and easier just to buy a Pegasos or even an A1 now anyway, no fiddling with ancient hardware.
