Do you blame Elbox that OS4 is not ready yet?


Wow, step turn and dodge.  Elbox coudln't be bothered to get a development system and at least start finding out how to get OS4 running with a shark?  At all?  No investigation done at least?  Just this "OS4 isn't ready yet!" (Despite 1000+ users already having it on their desktop?)

Incidentally, I notice that to this day there's no picture of the Son...er, "Shark" accellerator so I thought I'd provide one:

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.
Back away from the EU-SSR!
