A proper tested and verified on as many as possible cards as possible: SCSI<->SATA bridge. What is out there today is scary and messy. If my motherboards were alive I'd really want an SSD... Or just a new scsi controller that really is a SATA controller.

A proper in-place programmable and externally reset-able 1M ROM ($F00000-$FFFFFF). Possibly as a Z2 programming device, or a clockport thing, or serial? Or something memory mapped. Needs many models as all Amigas are pretty different.

And if doing 3000/4000 cpu accellerator: How about trying to put some sram on the cpu card, short cable it to the chipram-slots, and fiddle about the access so that all cpu cycles gets local speed instead of crossing the chipset bus? (Yes, you need some arbitrator for when the chips wants access.)

Ah! A2000 powersupply replacements that are size matched would probably be a seller. Remember screws for it too.
