Shark boards

[Acill]

I asked Elbox more about it back a few months ago. Its not Sonnet based any longer, but rather based on the Mai Micro Server. These are rel and several other companies make the same type of PPC PCI boards. Now that doesnt say Elbox actualy has a license for one of these or ever will. I bet they havent even started on driver development for one. For the price to get one and the mediator you would be better off just getting a Pegasos II or an A1 any how.

If it is the MAI Micro-server, then I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.  Why put an A1 priced card into an Amiga that could die any day (the classic boxes aren't getting younger)?  Enjoy the old systems as much as you can.  If you want a next-gen box, get a next-gen box but don't try to mash the two together, I say.

I said the same thing. Thats why I got rid of my A3000 with the Mediator in it and went for a Pegasos. It was the best thing I ever did. Its the ultimate PPC machine and blows away any the CSPPC I had in the 3000 by a landslide.

Just a thought-- how can Elbox be trusted with anything given the apparent vapor-ware status of the Shark? I mean, should I really give them my money for a mediator and tower if I decide to one day?

Well jdryyz, its like I said back when we first talked. I wouldny wast my money on a Mediator and a tower now that you have a Pegasos II. You still have it right? When MorphOS 1.5 comes out soon you will have no need for a fancy A3000. just keep it as it is for classic apps and games that wont run on your Pegasos.
