Home grown A1200 accelerator project

Not impossible.  Nor is it unrealistic.

The CT-63 goes for ~340 Euros, just to give a rough idea what a hypothetical classic Amiga board might go for.  I think it safe to say there would need to be a minimum 150 orders, probably more like 250, with at least some of the money in advance, to spark anyone's interest in creating such a board.  I, for one, would love to be able to slap a 512M DIMM into my A4000T so sign me up if someone qualified decides to build it!  Question is, are there 149 others?

I'm not by any means certain about this, but I think for the initial run of Falcon accelerators he wanted (and apparently got) around 75 orders??  That would have been for the Centurbo or CT-60.  He's improved the design (its now the CT-63) and done at least four additional production "runs" since the first bactch..  Guessing again, but I imagine each additional production "run" was for 25 orders or more.  My guess is there are at least 200 CT's out there somewhere.  I agree with you, too, that the Amiga audience is probably quite a bit larger.  Certainly not "large" by peesea standards..  But 300-400 boards x 340Euros each... ain't exactly peanuts.

Mathew from Amigakit is probably the best qualified to predict how many such boards might realistically sell.  I'm still guessing in the 300-400 range, perhaps more.
