Well, the Amiga bus is essentially based on a 68000 processor, which could limit applications, but the A1200's expansion port ought to be similar to Zorro3


Zorro1 == A500/1000 sideport == 68000 bus

Zorro2 == Zorro1 + some stuff for autoconfig

Zorro3 == Zorro2 when used with Zorro2 cards but something far more complicated when used with Zorro3 cards

A1200 expansion == 68ec20 bus (24bit address/32bit data)

Simplified for your needs.
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
