Heips & tervetuloa takaisin Amigamaisuuksiin.

I hope we one day see FPGA+RAM combination that fits in the A1200 trap door slot. The FPGA could be programmed to function as a fast 68k with a better compatibility than Coldfire.
(example: http://www.natami.net/specification.htm
"New enhanced and performance optimized 68K-CPU planned as free upgrade.
Work is in progress on a new fully compatible 68K CPU, AKA N070, providing high performance for todays multi-media applications.
This CPU will become part of the SuperAGA chipset. Our goal is to make this available as free firmware upgrade for the Natami boards. ")

Also PPC440+RadeonM9+RAM would also be very nice in the trapdoor slot and it would enable PPC operating systems. And because PPC440 has a lot of I/O, it could easily be guite a beast (ethernet, usb etc...)

Ok. Next idea:
200€ PCI-express card that would turn modern 50 € x86 board to a PPC amiga & AA or NATAMI on a FPGA (FPGA should/could be optional -100€)

or

AM2 socket instead of PCI express.
