I would something (PPC,CF,x86, I don't mind) that is fast on doing 68k, fits into
an A1200 (or maybe even an A600), features a reasonable current GFX-chip
(lets say something like the stuff used on VIA's ITX-boards, nothing fancy&hot),
and still is a real Amiga. Would be prepared to pay 300-400 Euro for that, depending
on features.

PCI-Slots for my A2000 would be nice, but those would probraly only make
sense in combination with an accellarator.

@McTrinsic

Dunno nothing bout this newer PAK (how could I have missed that ?) but the
orginal PAK (as detailed under your URL), is the weakest of the weak in
030-turbos, that makes an A2630 look like an sweet offer, hell one might be
tempted to get an A2620 instead of that ...

If an 68k (non-CF) accel is decided, I would advice trying to licence the design
of a more modern card, like the one from Phase/DCE or even the Apollo-stuff.

Hey, a Blizz2060 with a 1 PCI-slot would be a real nice treat  :-D

@Crumb

There is a reason why noone produces PPC-boards compatible with Apple-CPU-module
(no, the A1 can take these just as much as my Peg could take a Slot1-Pentium or SlotA-
Athlon).

Some patented trickery needed  :-o

@vortexau

The C1-HW is not even comparable to an A500 when it comes to speed.

Apart fromthe fact that i doubt it would be able to work with a PPC-CPU-modul.

I'm not talking bout the bus, but the programmable chips used to emulate
the chipset. That ones just lacks the grunt to truely emulate OCS, let alone
AA.

You mean it should weigh a ton, be a complete pain for service and should offer
a limited number of drive-bays in odd sizes and colors ?
 :-P

Really, get an old full-height tower with AT-PSU, do some metal-work and you'll
be done with it. Building these in a company would force Red to obeys to lots of
rules, and posting would cost a fortune.
