Too bad the road is going in the wrong direction. OS4 is AmigaOS natively on PPC. The Dragon is not PPC. Doh?

But I can't reuse the Mediator, can I? Oh well, it's a moot point for me anyway, as I'll be only running OS4...

| I think it's really cool and if I'm in a good enough retro/classic mood I might get one. My current Elbox Tower is a bitch (it's partly home made). But like you say there's no way in he%% I would invest in a 'classic' system unless the Dragon itself was on the shelves.
And besides, the ACK-OS4-enabled-card is also a runner up. Alongside with Elbox's own Shark. You might complain there's to many options here, I say great! Bring'em on! 
@Yssing, getting a brand new A1200 Magic pack is ~1200SEK and no problem to get hold of here in Sweden.
Cheers,

Ah..was not aware they went on record saying no chance in heck. Oh well. |

I understand that but the classic platform doesnt have many options. It would just be nice to be able to run OS4 since we might see the A1s demise as a platorm (Eyetech's comments).
NO worries.. I just found your original post a bit crass .. I can't see any reason why to down play any deleopment for either NGAmigas or classic. Hey and besides its not even out and might never be released anyhow.  |

Very correct, .....I really like what they (Elbox) is doing ..with the exception of a few extra's that OS4 addresses , The OS3xx is nice ..and I would be happy to just use it .
I'd like to understand all of Elbox's products a little better ...But they have never answered any of my questions, but between them and Vesalia maybe I can build a Amiga workstation?...I'm just weighting the price differences between that and a new Mac... If Elbox did answer my questions I would feel more confident in the support of their products...I wonder if there are boards for a good drawing and animation system, that work with a 1200? I'd like to build a 1200 that had the attributes of a Amiga 3000 or better. It seems that a 1200 with all the add on would be a neat little system ...especially for people like me that don't need all the flash and uncertainty of a new and yet unproven (buggy)system...

I not sure if this is what you were reffering too?:

It's a G3 or G4 processor on a PCI card for Mediator users. 
Check it out at elbox.com, (they are able to explain it much better than I am!). |
