Agreed.

Instead of dragging out this Dragon thing they really should be putting all their time and efforts into making a BlizzardPPC clone!

The reason for this? Hyperion's OS4 team have done a lot of the hard work for them.

OS4 Classic is compatible with:

-- Mediator 1200/4000
-- FastATA 1200/4000
-- PCI Cards for Graphics, Sound and Ethernet
-- Cocolino lol

The way I see it Hyperion have thrown them a bone here.

Along with their D-Box tower and the hardware metioned above, all they have to do is get their hands on some refurbished/NOS A1200 motherboards and they could effectively sell complete OS4 systems without any legal/licensing issues.

Well if they actually managed to make a BlizzardPPC clone that is.

The only thing missing for Elbox is USB which the Subway would be good for on an A1200.

Edit: I've just noticed on the compatibility list that there doesn't appear to be any mention of PCI network cards working on the Mediator 1200. It's odd though because I was certain it was mentioned somewhere that old 10Mbit ones would work.
