Putting an intel chip onto an amiga motherboard might seem like blasphemy, but it would have even less overhead than amithlon. The only annoyance is big vs little endian.

The best implementation would essentially be a modern bridge board, so you could run pc software on it at the same time as running amiga software.

Hummm.
If something like a "realtime endian converter chip" existed and would be used in conjunction with an Intel CPU for an Amiga motherboard or accelerator board - could that work?
I mean - as far as I understand all the hardware talk - Amiga code should run on Intel CPUs, once the endianess of the code is changed, right?
Or did I get it completely wrong?
Does something like an "endianess converter" chip exist?
I seem to remember having read somewhere that there actually are CPUs where the endianess does not matter - it is changed "on the fly", IIRC. So there must exist something like an "endianess converter" chip, right?
