You can proberbly build a complete A4000 in plain hdl-code with it. So MMU, I think yes....

@bloodline:
"No way could anyone justify a run of a 1000 FPGA boards for the Amiga community..."

You'r proberbly right. That's why one can make use of standard developer boards. Having an Amiga specific board isn't absolutely necessary.

This also why TobiFlex m68k cpu is so important. It's the key component besides Dennis chipset. That completly eliminates the need for a custom made board.
