PowerPC Cards That Weren't

I was just trolling around on the awesome amiga.cz site and found these:

Had never heard of them before! On top of this weird (apparently) A500 PPC accelerator that I mentioned in another thread, were there any others? Does anyone have any interesting prototypes, working or otherwise?

Shark PPC was fake. It was actually a Crescendo Apple MAC card and no firmware was ever made for it.

The reason for them never coming to market was almost certainly that they were technically incompatible with the Mediator bus boards they were intended for.
