Anyone think Elbox will make an announcement about the Shark soon?

 from what was understood, os4 will only be on classics with ppc (cs and bliz) not new hardware at least not yet!
I'm no longer excited about it anymore anyway, as stated I doubt it will ever materialize!


Yes, but Elbox always maintained that OS4 Classic would work on the Shark out of the box. Obviously, they were talking out of their rectums, but I'm still curious as to whether they will try to get a product out.

Interestingly, on the Shark product pages Elbox state that: "Production of SharkPPC+ cards will start as soon as the final version of AmigaOS4.0 for A1 is released." Note it says A1, not classic.

now i'm not sure what the rumble about macmini is? someone clarify.. are we porting or using emulation to run os4 under its ppc chipset?


Apparently some of the documents related to the court case mention an agreement to get OS4 running on a Mac mini, and other documents state that this had been achieved.

MacMini prices are already high... not that great a spec , military or otherwise...


You can get a PPC Mac-mini for about ?280, and the price and spec are better than a micro-A1.
