I've been pondering building an A1200 trapdoor slot to SPI bridge of some sort for a while... That would basically make the A1200 an SPI slave... Which would allow us to hook up a wide variety of cheap, but powerful embedded CPUs... I have a mind to get one of those $8 200Mhz ARM M4s in my A1200!!! ;)

Is there any reason an accelerator couldn't be designed using a low-cost, fairly high-clock ARM or other microcontroller to run an emulated 680x0 with high-speed onboard RAM (as the first PPC Macs essentially did?) That'd be nifty.

That exactly why I want an SPI bridge :)
