3V version of Mediator 4000D

I wonder if AmigaKit will carry the new V3.3 Mediators?

I expect so but why not ask them.

I would guess they couldnt source enough of the Sonnett boards they planned to rebadge the same way the Spider and Spider II was done.

The Dragon was the Coldfire based accelerator with an AGP and PCI slots.  It was shown working at an Amiga meeting in Krakow back in 2006.  I can only assume that they never got satisfactory speed to make it worthwhile.

A Sonnet like board is not beyond the capability of Elbox's engineers maybe with interest in the WarpOS for Sonnet they may consider a making their own Tsi108 based cards.

If any hobbyist fancies doing their own design then there currently a couple of batches of Tsi108 bridges for a knock down price.  It works out at £8.40 a piece.

Couple that with a tasty 7448 and you can have a classic Amiga that crunches numbers faster than the X1000.
