Seeing as the SharkPPC will be a PCI card, would it be possible to have AOS4 running on it using an x86 CPU and motherboard?

That would be nice i.e. barebones PPC G3/G4 CPU + AOS 4.0 ROM** + some SDRAM sockets on a PCI card. It should be cheaper to produce than a full-featured PPC motherboard. **Packaged with AmigaOS 4.0 Installation CD.

The same barebones PPC G3/G4 on PCI card could be use for embedded PPC related solutions (coupled with a very basic bus board).

I do have an old ICL 486DX33 on a card with X86 BIOS, and some SIMM sockets (fitted with 20MB RAM). This old card can be use on to a (ICL) basic bus board**  for standalone purposes....
