Jens has allready announced (on a1k.org) that he has solid plans for doing a 020-based card for the A500.

Proposed features:
- 020 at 14MHz
- 8MB of RAM (maybe 16Bit maybe 32Bit wide)
- A600-compatible IDE-controller
- A1200-trapdoor  connector to use A1200 style accels !!

He also briefly mentioned on doing "something better" for the A2000, but no details yet.
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
