No need to buy a crappy 10 year old IDE-interface as there will be one on the accel (see Oli's post).

Yes I want ONE  :-D but not for the A4k (sorry, but that would NOT be cool ).

Either A500/1200 (in kbd-case), or even better in my old A2000 if Oli adds 1 PCI-slot and P96(or CGX) driver fo Voodoo3).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Now that would be a stupid idea.

Adding such a special PCI-connector would be just as hard (if not harder) than adding a normal PCI-slot, and would force
you down to one option, even one inferior option.

Even if it was just one PCI-slot, it would still allow for other drivers than Voodoo3 to be added.

The A600 is the only Amiga, that doesn't have a slot which allowes CPU-cards. Those accels that do exist are slapped
ontop of the 68000, a far from perfect solution, and since the A600 is also the only one to use a SMD-68000 it would
need a special version.

An A500-version could fit into an CDTV or A2000, maybe even an A1000, but the A3k/4k would need another version, and
even one more for the A1200.
