Sure they have one, it's a Sonnet Crescendo after all, you can get them on ebay... Still nothing an Amiga can use though.

We must have won the lottery! Died and gone to heaven. Or something.

Wonder when this was added.

While the internet archive says it's even older:
Jun 04, 2004

There are pics of this card from 2001 already.

There is no question that such Crescendo 7200 card with custom heatsink exists. No-one has ever seen it work, however.

The picture is older, but they updated the text at some point in 2005 http://web.archive.org/web/20060315165743/http://www.elbox.com/ma/m_4000t_folder/m4000t_qig.html

I guess we can cancel the celebration and return to our normal depressed state of mind

@Piru

Well it does need an OS ported to it first and if it was originally their intention to use the Sonnet Crescendo they will no doubt have to change their plan at this stage and design a new card.

According to their reply to user at amigaworld they are doing just that.  link
I think I read some months ago that another user pressing them for information was told that they were/would be working Hyperion to get OS4 ported.  Rogue used to be pretty quick to deny that Hyperion had received a SharkPPC* from Elbox so who knows, though of course he may just have missed it.  

It might also make the Dragon a worthwile upgrade too as that has AGP and from what I can see on board IDE.

Anyhow as always in the Amiga game it's a case of wait and see, or perhaps beter forget and be pleasantly surprised
if it does appear.
*Elbox never claimed to have sent a SharkPPC to Hyperion, Rogue was just replying to speculation on the forums.

Hm.  A passive backplane supporting a CPU card with its own local memory, onboard IDE, video etc.  Son, what you've got there is a motherboard that plugs in to an A1200, not a busboard for the 1200. :-D

Heh, basically, but atleast it will still boot any other m68k os/app/game/whatever.

Maybe even run it in a window?
And perhaps osx?
And lots of linux

Hm, so the party is still on?

It's even ATX compliant.
