Either way news from Elbox would be nice.

The SharkPPC is a damn clone of my A1! But, like ACK, pssssssssst- vapor, huh!
With this OS 4 anouncement, maybe development may move forward?
Crossing my eyes!

Hello!

Don't get me, wrong but spending 300 euros for a 8 years old ppc + 100 for a new OS (around 400 euros tottaly) without having test the OS previously (how fast is it, is there any benchmark out there for a classic ppc vs A1?) are a lot of money!

I mean, the ppc look soo underpowered, only 166 Mhz on an a1200?

The onlly hope that OS4 could really boost its sales on the classic line of amigas is a brand new ppc hardware on the market. Elbox should release that SharkPPC, personally and I guess others as well, would be more confident on spending 400 euros for a new ppc rather 300 for such an old equipment :(

Well with an A1200 being 14Mhz, an 030 accelerator @ 50Mhz, and an 040 @ 25Mhz, it's not much of an increase is it?
