... or from someone else I guess...

I think it would be really cool to create a bridgeboard that plugs into the raspberry PI, or maybe plug it into the CPU slot or 500 expansion slot.

The PI has ethernet, usb, an SD card slot, memory, HDMI and composite video output, audio, and a lot of memory...  It would be great to give the amiga access to all that.

Maybe the video could even be used to emulate an amiga RTG board.

It could plug into the amiga board through the gpio port and pass it through so other things can be plugged in.

You could probably even hang a low profile PCI slot off the board.

Maybe even emulate a powerpc chip.

wishful thinking...

I think Jens should produce something that every Amiga lover buys and actually make a good profit for his efforts, support and loyalty.  I wish I knew what that product was, If I did I would tell him.  I don't think he should make anything people would "like" to see because that's just not financially viable. Not that I don't think the product you've outlined isn't a good idea.  I think most of it has good merit.
