So, I am unclear on this.
Will Hyperion eventually support the use of the Sonnet crescendo 7200 when installed on PCI enhanced legacy Amigas?

Sonnet cards range as high as 800 MHz using G4 processors.

Were these boards to be reverse engineered, there are still compatible low wattage G4 processor available that run at 800 MHz and 1 GHz that could be utilized.

This option would bring the cpu speeds up to levels comparable with lower end AmigaOnes.

With full legacy chipset support, PCI expansion, and high speed PPC processors, legacy hardware would be able to run far more Amiga software than any NG platform, at speeds that would make running everything from OS3.1 to OS4.1 practical.



I wouldnt count on it or Elbox would of moved forward with the Shark plan, which is this same card.
