i don't get it.

and i'll be the first to put my hand up and say so.

68k can be emulated,
coldfire can be emulated,
PPC can even be emulated.

so. why bother with a coldfire core at all? why not go for an system-on-a-chip or x86 based mobile core design?
readily available parts, core2duo mobile, bit of ddr2 so-dimm action, onboard USB,firewire,ethernet,gfx,audio, PCI hook up to mate up to an amiga's CPU slot, emulate a 68k and PPC on the x86. we've apparently already got the software to do the job.

bish bash bosh, job's a good'un.
£250 to you guv'ner.
done and done.

that is the only way, except using real 68k chips, i can see a new accelerator seeing light of day going forward from this point.

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
