Uhh what is the point of this again? You're wanting to take a PowerPC system and add one of these SBCs in and run Windows on the side? This won't work well for a variety of reasons:

OS4 doesn't have Synergy, so you will need to use either a KVM or separate attachments to run this.

Power supplies in those systems aren't going to be able to provide necessary power requirements without upgrade, you're likely to blow a fuse in them or worse short out your system.

If you recall there was talk about adding a raspberry pi to Amigas, the consensus is you're putting a fast computer onto a slow computer in order to keep the old computer on life support.
After many years in the Amiga community I have decided to leave the Amiga community permanently. If you have a question about SGI or Sun computers please PM me and I will return your contact as soon as I can.
