Many of use has quite expanded and towerized amigas
Many of us would like to continue using our amigas, even when a1200 mobo fails.
Currently this is difficult, only option is old and rusty replacemnt mobo, wich most likely will fall also soon.
There are currently atleast 2 diffent FPGA based amiga mobo projects. Could somebody plan and produce plain a1200 mobo with excatly same connectors? So that it would be useable with mediator, zorro extenders, clockport expansions and so on.
Maybe with faster chip ram :D

I suppose that would be possible, but..
Most of the things you would have on clockport expansions and zorro extenders would probably be better suited native on the new FPGA boards...
Ethernet, USB, Video cards... All of those are planned included "features" on Natami (and FPGA Arcade, minus video although I would think some type of higher res video in their FPGA would be possible)...
Also, you use the phrase "many", but I wonder how many that really is....
Enough to justify a run of boards?
Who knows..
