I want solutions that work.  The Mediator works for me.

I would probably given up on Amiga some time ago had it not been for
the Voodoo 3 sat inside my A1200T.

By the way do you actually own a Mediator?

OpenPCI doesn't seem to offer any drivers for devices that Elbox don't
already support and I don't see any drivers for graphics cards in
developement.

To be honest there is not much point in supporting newer graphics
cards for the Mediator As the Voodoo's performance is strangled by the
Amiga's data bus.  Of course if Amiga dealers can't source Voodoo
cards any longer then new graphics drivers will be necessary but there
will be no performance advantage.

If Elbox did send Hyperion a SharkPPC it would still sit there waiting
until OS4 final is out for A1 before they start work on a Shark
version. I think BlizzardPPC may also be a priority over the SharkPPC.

Elbox are not a big company if they had produced SharkPPC a year ago
no one would have bought because there was no OS4 for it and Elbox
would probably be bankrupt by know.

However Hyperion a confident that once OS4 final is ready for A1,
porting to other Amiga platforms should be straight forward and less
time consuming.

We will as always have to wait for now.
