Simple 68040/68060 w/RAM for BigBox Amigas...

I still do not see how this has not happened yet... I would jump at something like this. No SCSI, just a really fast RAM interface to the CPU, 040/060 selectable. Maybe in the 650-750 USD range? I know Chucky has been putting a lot of love into the 3660, but the real leap is RAM local to the CPU... Modern components, cool running, and really fast, low latency RAM. To make it even cheaper, assume surface mount 128MB, non expandable... Seems like there are enough A3000/A4000's out there to make it worth while.

Ok, how about a fresh run of Warp Engines, 128/256MB surface mount (no SIMM sockets), simplified layout and reduced part count (more CPLD; less GAL), and instead of a classic HD interface, a CF / SD onboard with the freed up space?
