That's kind of what i'd like too. I want to keep my wedge, have a fast accelerator with high colour modes. Then i'd be happy.

I noticed Jens latest cards are quite small, lots of room to extend them with extra chippery perhaps?

See the NEXT part... meaning it has not been done... if it ever is done then there is a chance someone might make an FPGA accelerator card... but unlikely. At that point you may as well replace the whole Amiga.


If it runs all my Amiga software, hardware, reads my disks, and is 100% compatible (and a lot faster), then i'd be quite happy to replace my Amiga, because that's what iv'e wanted since 1994, a new Amiga!

Why even bother posting stats like that? Never going to happen.

Perhaps I should say, as good as a current accelerator card. I see no reason why that would not be (theoretically) possible, especially with WHDload in the equation.
They also said Amiga emulation would not happen.
