Well the card was never finished ..... unless you fancy coupling a G3 with 2MB chip-mem (and I mean only chip-mem) that is.

So you'd need more work to finish the design, hunt down parts long out of production make those parts ROHS-compatible by pure magic, write SW for it .....

Honestly I sometimes started to wonder how much of an FGPA one would need to couple an Freescale MPC5200B (or similar) to the 680x0-bus. Sure one would still need to write SW, but getting the pur PPC-side of the HW up and running should be pretty much stressfree (maybe even by licencing the EFIKA-design).

Much better approach then trying to regreate something that did(n't) make it to market 10 years ago.
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
