I think you missed the point there, he was saying it would be possible to make Wup aware of a new card.  The AmiJoe was meant to be working, but shelved as it was uneconomical to produce, it'd certainly be a more realistic to make that than re-create the original PPC designs.

Of course none of this is going to happen as there just isn't a market for a classic accellerator any more - not with 2 new PPC platforms already in existance.  Perhaps making a hardware AGA emulator on a PCI card would be a more realistic taget? (could be built into the Catweasel Mk36 :-D).

@Kronos - so you have dual PPC processors instead, one emulating a 68k processor (emulation could start at boot time), and one to run Wup on :-D

c'mon, this is pure speculation anyway ...

Effy - sometimes typing in someone elses language makes it easier for them to decifer, my partner speaks to a friend in (bad) French and they speak to her in equally bad English - it works better/quicker than anything else! ;-)
