Sounds like PPC-Mac hacked to directly boot into UAE  :-o


Honestly I want something "clean", read when i want Nextgen-HW the last thing I would like to see it is being cluttered with retro-stuff.

On the other side when I want retro-stuff I want retro-stuff, so nothing but a 680x0 an OCS/AGA-compatible GFX-system (maybe faster and with higher resolutions).

Adding small fry like USB or 1 Zorro-Slot (maybe inlined with 1 PCI-slot) ain't bad, but thats exactly where it should stop.
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
