I've heard this mentioned before and while it's valid from one perspective, another side of the coin is that I'd simpley like to be able to continue using the amiga as I always have, and that includes the software I like, a lot of which is reliant on the custom chipsets. If that means Im effectively running a new machine with an a1200 motherboard (or whatever) attached for backwards compatibility then Im still happy.
Well, hypothetically anyway as Im running amithlon at the moment and have no classic gear.
FPGAArcade and Natami will provide classic chipset compatibility and the faster CPU.
However I thinks it a possibility to create an FPGA based CPU trapdoor expansion, once such an FPGA CPU is available.
As for new graphics modes, etc, that's another issue entirely. Maybe a standard P96 style graphics card could be implemented in the FPGA.
