Recreating BPPC/CSPPC cards is a waste of time, I'll tell you why.
1 Rumour has it that you don't need a licence from Amiga Inc to do an OS4 port to classic expansion cards.
2 The SharkPPC is a classic Amiga expansion.
3 Elbox say the SharkPPC will work with the Dragon.
4 The Dragon has a CPU card slot, who says it has to have a Coldfire on the CPU card.
5 The Dragon has FPGA's on the board.
6 The Dragon can run standalone. It was mentioned that Elbox intended to sell it standalone as Coldfire development system.
7 Minimig is open source.
If point 1 is true, you can take points 2-7 and formulate a plan.
Here's how the plan goes.
Elbox hand Hyperion some SharKPPC samples and 25,000 Euro.
Elbox release SharkPPC with OS4 for existing and future Mediator owners.
Elbox release the Dragon with the option of a Minimig CPU card instead of a Coldfire, or maybe even incorporate it onto the mainboard.
Now all you have to do is buy a Dragon + SharkPPC and you have brand new hardware that runs OS4.
