@Karlos:
You are right in that there would be complications with timing, the bandwidth of ZII-bus would be fully utilized. Though this is not different from the situation with the existing mediator products where the bandwidth of the used buses also is fully utilized. When the PCI-side of the existing mediator products are doing transfers to/from the Amiga-side a lot of waitstates are inserted to cope with the slow bus on the Amiga-side. In a ZII-implementation the difference would be a rough doubling of the waitstates.
I am positive a ZII mediator would be a doable thing.
From a commercial POV, a suicide!
How much users own an A2000? some (or quite all) of them, wants that the A2000 stills be an A2000 in a quite original configuration
ColdFusion option? yes the best option IMHO when it will be available.
