I am not a genius, but what about Elbox writing a few drivers for some pci IDE controllers ??? You can buy them in any pc store. Most pc guys buy them to expand their IDE connectors from two to four, but why can´t it be used on a Mediator or Prometheus or Grex ??? No more bottleneck about harddrive transfer  :-)

But the transfers between pci cards is 132 Mb/sec, not ??? So the transfers from the hd that are connected to the IDE pci controller to the Shark PPC pci card are maximum 132 Mb/sec, not ???

True, but at least it´s supposed to be a lot faster than when the harddrive is connected to the internal port ... that is : if they write drivers for pci IDE controllers ...

True as well, but until WinUAE can perfectly emulate AGA I still prefer to use a Shark PPC than an AmigaOne or Pegasos II ...

Miki060 : Okay, with my A1230+CV64/3D history in mind your workbench does look breathtaking, I have to admit that. But how well can WinUAE emulate AGA demo´s ??? I come from the C64 scene where demo´s were the most important stuff and the same goes for Amiga demo´s, at least in my personal point of view. No offense to game freaks ...
