Classic PPC hardware

Anyone know if this likely to be released now we have a release date for OS4 classic? Would a Pci PPC board work with OS4 for classic / A1 or would a new version be needed? I emailed Elbox a while ago never got a reply.

I would love it if the SharkPPC came out of retirement. Note, though, that as far as I'm aware, not one person related to OS4 development has access to any kind of prototype, so it certainly wouldn't be any time soon.

I'm trying to get hold of Blizzard PPC board, Would pay a lot more if someone could make a G3/G4 for my A1200.
Do DCE still hold the rights to the Power up boards? Maybe they could be convinced to produce them again.

@xeron

I already asked b-plan (x-phase5). They can't do it

1) Can't get 10 year old components
2) Not ROHS compliant, so cannot sell in EU.

So, basically zero chance of another production run of cyberstorm/blizzard PPC.

A new accelerator would have to be developed.

Hey, wouldn't this be a great time for ACK to release his PowerVixxen's ?

There's as much chance of that happening as there is of pigs flying and pink pigs at that.
