... or PCIe. FPGAs with SerDes for PCIe and SATA are more expensive but still relatively affordable. PCI is still the best for providing the cheapest commodity hardware and there are existing drivers for the Amiga but PCIe and SATA would be great for a little more cost and work .
warp3d ia an old crippled and outdated system that originates and represents the functionality of 68k era, which is, how you yourself worded that "stuck in the past". it took ages to have it ported and available for the cards, the systems you consider "modern" come equipped with. and this outdated form of 3d support is a result, that they apparently couldnt get gallium done.will be good to be notified, as soon as the hardware you are being delivered as an ng "amiga" becomes fully supported.okay, i know operating system is fun as it is, even without software. for the time being, except of said sdl ports you must be using the old "stuck in the past" amiga software, originating mostly from the last millenium. to the point that the hardware vendors are buying up the sources of the said "stuck in the past" software in order to market it again, possibly with minor improvements.so a customer is supposed to develop drivers fot the system he would have to buy all by himself? thats how you define "modern" approach? if so, i wonder if documentation to do this is really freely available, without ndas and such, because it really might stop people.
I added all of those things to my A1200 over the years and it never felt any less an Amiga for it, if anything, it felt more of an Amiga for being able to add them into the systesm fairly seamlesslly.
