Very interesting. Provides a solution to tracking down a 060 and then paying through the nose for it. If the board can emulate a 060 wonder if there is potential to emulate a 604 PPC. Would be really cool to have virtual CS Cyberstorm PPC that is affordable.

Can’t see a Cyberstorm PPC (Or even a Blizzard PPC) variant considering Phase 5/DCE hold the designs to these cards. The issue is the PPC side. Yes you can use WarpOS and AmigaOS4. But without anything else, PPC doesn’t really add to the Amiga experience without some sort of current backing of new Software.

What would be nice, if we did have SCSI re-introduced back. I prefer it over IDE due to DMA and less overhead on the already demands the CPU has to do.
