Da ich ja meinen Mediator SX nicht ans laufen bekomme,bin ich einigermassen grell auf das dragon 1200 Board,und so habe ich einige Fragen an Elbox gerichtet.Recht fix kam dann auch eine Antwort:

DRAGON 1200 was expected to be on sale in January, but Freescale delayed the
start of the volume production of their newest ColdFire MCF5475.
As for now we have very limited quantity of these new processors.

The last info from Freescale (Motorola) says that the mass production of
MCF5475 processors on which Dragon is based will start at 15 June 2005.
If this becomes true the Dragon sales will start at the end of June.

> can i use my blizzard ppc card together with the dragon 1200 board?

No. Dragon is equipped with its own turbo/CPU card based on ColdFire
MCF5475 processor and you cannot simultaneously use any other processor
except CPU card installed in the Dragon PCI slot like SharkPPC.

> and finally : will be the adaptec 2940 scsi controller supported?

It is a matter of drivers only. If there will be enough request for such
support we will do it.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
