they've stopped production of the greatest accelerators for the amiga? and they could have done so much more with the range. i mean, for example, the Mach5 604e chip is rated up to 350-400Mhz and has the same chip pin configuration, it just runs at a lower core voltage. so adjustment of the bus multiplyer, flashrom, and voltage regulator, and badabing, 400Mhz woopass machine >:)

plus they have/had the schematics for the cyberstorm/blizzard G3/4 off of phase5. grrrr!

i mean, in theory, it would be possible to build a board that plugs into a 680x0 socket (040/060) and Looks like a 680x0 from the machines point of view, it just happens to be running a PPC/Athlon/MIPs/etc chip with its own flashrom, memory, etc to emulate a 680x0. phase5 prooved that the the PPC developer boards. it'd be alot easier to sell an accelerator these days that plugs into the 680x0 socket and pretends to be a big fat hairy 040/060, but is a 2Ghz  Athlon. plus there would be a market for it in other areas, IE old macs, 680x0 embedded systems, Atari machines...

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD
