AROS + Emumiga should fit that bill nicely.
It's been a month since the last Emumiga update :(

Like a modified raspberry pi device...  seems imminently doable.
Raspberry Pi, running AROS/UAE... That would be my next Amiga! ;)

Been thinking, as I'm no expert or have much knowledge about chip design, then hopefully someone who does would be able to answer this question... :)

To me with all the modern technology available and with being able to quite literally cram an old computer onto a single chip. Would it not be possible for one of the big chip manufacturers to make 060 chips in a modern format that could run at speeds far in excess of the rather limited 50Mhz of most 060 chips... :)

Think about having an 060 Amiga accelerator board running at several hundred Mhz or more for our miggies, that would be neat... :)
The 060 design doesn't exist for modern chip processes so it's a no go.

A better idea is to take a cheap SoC (system on a chip, the type of chip you find in smart phones) and run an emulator on it... Thus my keeness on the £15 Raspberry Pi computer :)
