Theoretically the A500 version would work in an A2000 Jim.

An A2000 workstation should have at least 128Mb mem and support many Zorro cards. Don't know that the 500 version will do this. It really should go in the Expansion slot anyway.

I'll be in line for that right away!

PS: reaaly should have a SATA controller with proper DMA also.

DMA SATA via Zorro II?
You need to take a look at the maximum transfer rates of both of those to get an idea of how bad that would be.

How about SATA support via a controller chip connected directly to the FPGA?


Exactly! Add MMU and FPU functions please, its fast Enough it wont matter if cut down a bit anyway.

The Zorro support is for sound, High speed serial/parallel card and maybe USB.
