"Availability: Q1 2007"
"*) Production of SharkPPC cards will start as soon as the final version of AmigaOS4.0 for A1 is released."

"Production" means swapping the heatsink of Sonnet Crescendo 7200, in this case. Probably also reflashing the boards to make sure users can't use original Crescendo boards, and are forced to pay elbox premium.

Last Dragon update is from November 2006 when they were supposed to go for sale. They were supposed to go for sale January 2005, too, and every update since then, pretty much.

Isn't it even slightly funny that both products are still MIA?

then why hasn't someone put one in their mediator then?

Because unlike what Elbox wants everyone to believe it doesn't magically run unmodified OS4.
