I was thinking about if you could route a Pi3 thru a vampire and be able to use 3.9 and Linux at the same time.

Linux on a 68k? Old Linux is of no interest to me, something a bit faster and more productive is what I had in mind.

Was thinking of something a bit more like Amikit's "Alice". To be able to go back and forth without switching OS.

Maybe, in the future some expansion connector on the vampire. Won't hold my breath.

. To the Amiga it would be talking to things it already knows. The Pi would do the work of telling the Amiga what it wants to hear.

I wouldn't bother with acceleration. I think we would be taxing the Pi enough trying to make it RAM, mass storage, and networking.

These are fairly generic needs for any system and I don't know how well Amiga OS support multi monitors. We're essentially looking for an RPi Bridgeboard.


A BridgeBoard is the answer but is it possible?
