Unbelievable that there are still people who are naive enough to take the Shark for real.....
If Elbox had a working Shark, why didn't they ever show it running Linux or any function-test ?
And if they don't have that, how would they know wether it works ?
All academic, since there is simply no sane way to make a PPC attached to a PCI-bus access the Amiga-chipset lying behind the Voddoo-RAM-window in an even remotly compatible way.
Indeed. If the card works at all, it will have to with it's own DMA, hard drive controller, and RAM, with sound, network, video, USB etc. addressed through the PCI bus, reducing the Amiga to nothing more than a power supply housing with attached mouse and keyboard. IOW: An expensive A1-like.
