Does this offer also apply to the Dragon, which supposedly will be presented/produced in May 2006? :-P

Maybe this offer is for getting some cash to fund Dragon production. ;-)

The "Dragon" will never be produced/released.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Hm, no Dragon news, though it should be available for months now...

Moreover, they seem to fear the new AmiVD, as they go for Zorro III bus boards now :-) I've got the impression that there's sale out for their stuff, together with their YAEFSO (Yet Another Elbox Free Shipping Offer).

Last news (after about 317 delays) on the Mediator-List was that the Dragon should be demoed and produced in May 2006.

I really hope the AmiVD will have an autoswitcher so scandoublers/flickerfixers can be used with it in a sensible manner.

If that doesn't happen I atleast hope the designers have the foresight of equipping the board with a header which logic output toggles depending on wether the board or the Amigas chipset is supposed to be the active output, so third party autoswitchers can be made.

AmiVD is as much Vapourware as the Shark and Dragon.  Last news I could find was that it would be released late last year.  And if you're going to make a new graphics card why base it on an old no-longer-produced chipset when the current low-end Radeons perform many times better at the same cost.

> AmiVD is as much Vapourware as the Shark and Dragon.

At least I held the AmiVD in my hands and have seen it working. Can't say this about the Shark or the Dragon (okay okay, I also held a Sonnet card in my hands once ;-D).

The problem is as usually the time and resources -- as with all spare time projects. Unfortunately, the producer is *really* busy with his Ph.D. thesis right now.

And the AmiVD is not based on a graphics chipset. It is basically a two (or possibly more) slots PCI to Zorro bridge bundled with a graphic card for which drivers exist.

And the modern Radeon cards are far to fast for the much slower Z3 busboard. It´s like having a 600 HP engine in a car that is limited to 55 miles  per hour speed  :boohoo:
