Good luck with your project. Why dont you try other avenues tho. Classic Amigas are drying up as time goes by. More will will fail and more will be butchered on mod {bleep}ups. If you can find a coder get them to code OS3-4 to work on other ppc mainboards. Efika is a good start but its short on power. Amiga users will always be crippled due to lack of coders and lack of hardware. The hardware which is available is also limited in power which i believe puts coders off.

Wouldnt it be easier to put one in a X86 mobo. Program the first part of the boot to disable the X86 cpu and use just the sonnet card. Maybe have the X86 run a basic prog to run the sonnet card in the background of the OS. Just like the 680*0 cpu gets disabled on boot or something simalar. Then you would have 3.3v and use of more common hardware.

Ok grill me Piru.....im off to hide....
