Also, I wouldn't mess with Colffire.  My suggestion would be to make a 68040/68060 board with jumper selectable processor.  You could ship the board w/o processor and let the user install his/her available chip.  Also, 128MB ram is *highly* recommended as would some kind of ide/scsi port.  RTG would be cool but, that's going to be a busy card.

I agree with you, a socket for user's 040-060 CPU is the best option. I'd also like to see SIMM sockets there as SIMM modules are dirt-cheap these days and provide more than adequate performance.

And yes, please go for the A600 project !!! :-)
