Make a PPC addon for the FPGA Arcade, that way you can use the FPGA to glue original drivers to new hardware?

Is there a need for the old drivers etc.. to work as with the original boards?
Or could one write a new one relativly easily that would work with a new accelerator?

It's mainly a question of expensive multilayer boards, signal integrity, pain-in-the-ass-DDR memory interface, small components handling to make one ;)

Writing the software side is another..

No deterministic reason?

Personally I prefer FreeBSD, I find Linux messy.
