Honestly, at the end of the day I just want a new classic Amiga with some updated hardware. Give me the AAA chipset that was promised, addressing 8MB of chipram... Give me a 68060 with a clock speed in 3 or 4 digits... and have it address faster memory (SDRAM or better). Give me ZorroII/III AND PCI expansion slots. Give me high speed serial ports that will allow me to run my 56K modem at full speed. USB/Firewire would me nice. Throw it all on an ATX style board so I can put it all into a tricked-out case to show off! And last but not least, a kick-ass case badge.

Although it's not exactly what you're looking for, the hobby project I'm thinking about taking on isn't far off. http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16757  Admittedly, it's nothing more than fantasy vapor at the moment, but I am going to give it a serious try.  

Out of curiousity, why is it that you want Zorro II/III slots?  Apart from video toaster hardware, I can't think of much that doesn't have a faster/cheaper equivalent in PCI.
