Are there a technical reason that we could not use FPGA's to create new amiga accelerator / processor cards ?
 
Is it more a question of investment (time and money) ?
 
Curious minds are wondering :)


Tbh I was curious around the time that the Elbox dragon was being demo'd why you couldn't get any cpu with a 68k emulator on a rom on such a board. It seemed to me that there were some superb cpus out there that had more than enough grunt that could be got for pennies... I mean with some of these ARM SOCs you could even have limited RTG too if you wanted to go down that path...
Blessed Be,
