Nope, you cant use the SharkPPC with the GRex card. If I remember correctly
DCE released a 'press statement' saying that they are doing a PPC card for
the GREX though, might be worth trying find out about?
Elbox said that the SharkPPC would not work with the GRex due to the fact
that the logic to access boards on the Grex PCI are not erm.. able to
access each other (I cant remember what words they used now) basically, the
data lines for cross PCI card communication are not connected or summat,
which surprised the heck out of me!
Anyway, good news regarding the Mediator and SharkPPC in the fact that they
are now another Amiga partner for the AOS4 :-) wooohoo!
btw, anyone wanting to see a Mediator board in action running Voodoo,
ethernet and Sound (assuming the sound card drivers are out) get yourself
to the Kickstart show on May 26th and have a look for the GAG user group
stand - you should find a couple of mediator equiped systems there. :-)
see http://www.kickstartshow.co.uk for more details on the show, and I hope
to see ya all there!!! :-))
Cheerio,
