In case there's still anyone in doubt: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/crescendo_7200.html

Production has ceased long ago, they're selling off stock now.

They will fit into any PCI slot but won't let you do anything at all with them. If there was a way to make them work on a Mediator or any other PCI board, Elbox would've made a fortune years ago. It's not only a driver problem, but most probably a hardware problem.

To put it straight: SharkPPCs have never ever existed. Elbox probably planned to remarket the Crescendo 7200 just like they did/do the Spider but gave that up soon after. Since there still are people believing in that scheme they left it on their site, possibly selling the odd Mediator board.
