How quick are you? 6 Prometheus for $139 each on eBay.

[redrumloa]

I have listed 6 Prometheus boards on eBay. Are you quick enough to get one before they are gone? That is $36 off the already newly reduced retail!

Why? Why not, call it market research:-D

But you took off the free shipping!

Whassup with that!?!?! :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?

It's all in the numbers. This is still a big drop in the price. :-)

How come the transfer speed is only 120MBps as opposed to the normal 133MBps of PCI.

Good question. I'll see if I can't get the answer for this.

Do you support the 8139 series or Realtek cards yet as they are one of (if not THE) cheapest and most common 10/100Mb cards around.

The RTL8029 (10Mb) is best current ethernet driver. There is an OpenPCI RTL8139 driver but it is incomplete and unstable. I hope to change this soon, RTL8139 SHOULD be the next stable driver in the near future.

Just when I'd swore I'd never spend anymore on the classic hardware you have to tempt me with this!

3 down 3 to go at this price. Better hurry:-P

Well, I agree.  If there are no sound card drivers, or working fast ethernet drivers then it should not be mentioned on the "new owners" website.

I am in contact with various driver developers, one of which has a fully finctional FM801 driver and partial working RTL8139 driver. I wouldn't put too much faith in attacks from a competitor who still markets the SharkPPC. Enough said.

Mark my words if I find any mysterious fatal hardware bugs that prevent busmatering I will be the first one to go public.

Thank you!

And then there was one... :-)

[redrumloa]

I am sure the sound card
drivers will be available very soon.

I am in contact with the OpenPCI author and he says the only thing that has needed completion is AHI recording support. He states this is only about an hour of work, but he has lacked the time over the last year. He agreed to let me distribute the driver after testing.

So... It looks very promising. I hope to bring positive news very soon.

BTW: There is actually still ONE LEFT at $139! :-o

@ELBOX

You can read there that drivers for a good quality sound card are available at this website.

You mean our under construction in progress website with cut and paste information? Not because of your bizzare fixation, but we have modified our website to remove the offending material. Anachronism Industries certainly would never mislead their customers with purley vapour claims such as SharkPPC accelerators.

[News] PPC board for the Mediator   Link

Krakow, 12 October 2000

ELBOX COMPUTER is proud to announce the breath-taking new product: the most powerful PowerPC accelerator for Amiga 1200, 3000 and 4000.

The first SharkPPC G3/G4 cards for developers will be available by end of November, with production planned to commence in January 2001.

BTW. You can read more about the near-ready-to-release-since-four-years SharkPPC for Mediator at HERE

This vapour product is still touted on Elbox's website here and here.

Is showing the real features of Mediator something that you would like to hide before the readers of Amiga.org tojaz?
 
:roflmao:

[redrumloa]

How can you call the SharkPPC purely vapor?

Because it is vapor for 4 years.

Releasing to developers is not mean general public.

No developers have gotten them.

They have said from the start that it will not be released until Amiga OS4 is released.

And to this day Hyperion states they have not received any board and it will not be supported.

[redrumloa]

1) It won an award for being a vapor product a couple times, so by definition yes.

2) Hyperion has made it clear that without hardware and documentation it cannot and will not be supported. I trust Hyperion to know their own product.
