So how does the board work? Are the two big ICs FPGAs? Is one a PCI controller and one a ZorroII/III controller?

Can the board be booted up without an Amgia? ie. can you put a Busmastering CPU card in one slot a,d run the unit like that? hmmm... maybe you would need a microcontroler on the board for that...

Buy a system-on-a-card and plug that in.. Might work, might not. :-)

Then again, no use in buying a prometheus when you can buy real cold PCI backplane for that purpose.

Well, that was just a secondary thought... I as just thinking about the ideas of a cold fire card... etc...

anyway, what I was reallygetting at, was tha as those IC's are just FPGAs then you could modify them to turn one socket into an AGP socket, since I can't find any PCI graphics cards.... but AGP ones are 10 a penny.

If there is any room on those ALTERA FPGAs then one could stick a 68000 core on there :-)
