I was thinking of hooking a pci socket of a pc mainboard to the accelerator port of an amiga.
Use freedos to emulate 68k or ppc.
Some one seems to think that I am refering to elbox shark and I am not.

I went to Wikipedia.org and looked at USB2.0 and noticed that USB3.0 is supposed to run 600 MBs. I believe a serial connection or maybe using a parallel cable from a PC IDE port may be an easier solution.

The usb cards for the A2000 might be modified to do such a thing but would not have the priority that the cpu slot would have.
