A project I'd like to see from Jens...

Motorola 68060 is the last Amiga hardware beast to conquer ..

There is a die shot (1851 x 1757) but translating that to HDL code is another matter.

As for quantity. 1000 is the magic number when there's enough units to order directly from manufacturers.

S-ATA is the way to go these days. Because the ATA interface has evolved to have some technical decency and it's the option with reasonable prices. SAS (serial SCSI) cost a fortune in comparision.

Regarding the 68060. To compete with the real thing any CPU would have to be as fast as 68060 @ 75 MHz. And then one has to make the decision if one should skip those instructions that Motorola did. Not doing it may cause incompabilities but it may actually be a better processor. So perhaps an configuration option would be suitable.

My post was more regarding wether to use SCSI or S-ATA in general terms. And the 68060 in long term. Once the CPU is in FPGA. Incremental changes are easy, in comparision when producing silicon or hardware.

Alright Jens is not a serbian. Good to know. Now my Amiga will run faster
