That's not true at all.

well, yes 060 on ECS is certainly possible as there are 060 boards for the a2000, but it would require too much glue logic. IMHO it's little bit beyond the scope of a hobby project. It's best to keep the goals modest if you're not certain you can do something.

Neither will an 030.

Or an 020.

I think you talk too much for someone knowing too little. 020/030 bus is nothing like 040/060. That's why Commodore invented the Zorro 3 bus, to talior the 040 bus specifications. It's a major design job to interface a 060 to ECS system which was desinged with 68000 in mind. If you think it's a trivial job, please make a project yourself. We will be anxious to see your achievements. :afro:

and a 32bit IDE controller on the CPU is faster than any Amiga will ever require, and simple to find.
