Anyway what beats me to hell is why havent the shark got released yet? , we have always had the possibility to run linuxppc and now later on morhos , i mean its not logical of elbox to not support this like NOW! , instead of watching all the customers fly to a1 and pegasos right away (and selling their old setups).
i guess elbox doesnt have a working card and still works on the bandwidth issues (speculation ONLY) and still after 3+ years nothing has been made to even make it look like its working on a classic amiga (the card works in a mac so... The orginal)
The shark in a mediator environment will be anything but commonplace. There must be an OS specially supporting it IMHO. Tweaking linux to work even on the Peg/AOne took time both for Genesi and Hyperion as well. As to MOS, I can imagine that they haven't asked Genesi for a port, and as well that they've tried that but Genesi would like to support GRex instead, or supporting Shark is a pretty low priority for them. (They have to finalise the Pegasos version, release it for the CPPC, BlizzPPC, GRex, maybe even an AmigaONE/Mac version would be ahead of a Shark version.) There are just no Shark users out there - because there is no software for it. But because there is no software for it, there will be no Shark users out there.
We will see what happens, when OS4 gets released.
