I've often wondered why no one bothered making an x86 version of the PPC Amiga accelerators. Same concept, different CPU. 680x0 + x86. Call the new multi-tasking kernel "Warp86". :idea:

I'd be all for a PCI card with FPGA custom chips as well, designed for use with WinUAE in a similar fashion to Catweasel (perhaps even incorporating it). This way UAE controls the environment and CPU emulation, but lets the hardware functions be passed to, well, hardware.

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -
