(just adding to the dream thread...)
also any new accelerator should have SATA as a controller, no more huge scsi cables with terminators and all the mess they create... SATA should be more than enough for the amiga, and I bet it reaches or exceeds amiga-scsi solution in speed terms...

what are you talking about sata and cpu load? new controllers (like new IDE ones) use DMA for transfers like scsi. the problem is that there is NO amiga IDE controller that uses DMA AFAIK, that is why IDE is so much slower in amiga... even FastATA does not use DMA...
