Minimum: 030/40 mhz + 128mb

In a perfect world: 040-060 with ACA2000 stripped to just be only an adapter(+CF?) to lower cost.

@Amigadave,

Wow, you had a bit of cash around back then. That's an impressive lot. I'll probably wait a little bit to see if any FPGA accell's come around if not I will take you up on your offer.

@OldsmobileMike, I am sure that the 68000 Soft-Core that is reported to run at 400MHz or more already has some of the 68020 instructions integrated, or will have some, or most of the 68020 instructions implemented in the near future. That is the great thing about FPGA Soft-Core CPU's, is that the programmers writing them can enhance them with extra instructions, or improved instructions. I don't know if we will ever see 680x0 Soft-Core CPU's that include all of the 68040 and/or 68060 instruction sets, but perhaps the programmers working on these Soft-Core designs will be able to add the most used and needed instructions, so that 90% of the software optimized for 68040 and 68060 CPU's will be able to run on these FPGA accelerators and stand alone systems using Soft-Core CPU's.

Awesome, that would be exactly what I'm looking for! Call it laziness, but I've already optimized the heck out of my A2000 system for 68040, I don't want to go back! ;)

+1 on the "you had a bit of cash back then" comment. Interest free loans, must be nice! Early '90s I was making about $6 an hour, seem to recall saving for months to get an A1200. On the flipside I had four cars... I miss the days when I could buy some old junker for $200! :laugh1:

It'd be great if the board also had a built-in USB controller...

...and a graphics card.  ;)

Hmm, I wonder if you could put a pci connector off the top and hang a pci graphics card from it, may end up upside down but so what! Put a clockport on it for usb.
