Why bother with an FPGA based PPC though when these things are ~£31 individually? http://www.digikey.co.uk/product-detail/en/freescale-semiconductor-nxp/MPC5200CVR400B/MPC5200CVR400B-ND/1168085

That's what powered the Efika and is a 603e based chip, why go to the hassle of designing a PPC based FPGA system?

It made sense for the 68060 as it's incredbily expensive and the end of the road for the 68k series compatibility/availability wise. Those arguments don't hold true for PPC though.

Where can you buy one today? All I found was a place to pre-order one.

That's who I got mine from, though there is a BIG backlog of orders right now.
