Well, the shark ppc would probably be a modified version of the sonnet thingie based on the same probably patented principle, why they are delaying i is beyond me, perhaps to get the ppc chips cheaper and or a faster models. Who'd pay 449 euros for a 400 mhz ppc card today?
Im quite sure they'd have to add some sort of chip that speaks to the mediator pci to get things working correctly. Then again perhaps not. Since the "Shark PPC" seems pretty much identical to the sonnet
Wouldnt a classic amiga with this card still be a classic amiga? Perhaps we could see os4.1 running on classic amigas with this card. That would probably be our only chance of getting 4.1 fully featured.
But we would have nothing to loose trying.
Another thought that struck me was that freescale might not consider them a big enough costumer, or isnt this an issue with ppc?
It must be something else thats stopping them, look at the crazy prices for the Cyberstorm, people are going nuts over os4, having it on the classic is half the fun! I share the opinion about amgia one's not feeling like an amiga, it doesnt even have the amiga keys!
