I'd like to see a Zorro II/III multifunction card with the following:
- RTG graphics with VGA output
- 10/100 Ethernet Port
- USB ports (2)
- IDE/SATA internal ports for newer storage devices
- Integrated SD Card slot
- Built-in Floppy emulator (to be used in conjunction with SD card)
- Clockports (2) one of which will be used for an actual battery-backed clock since most big-box Amigas have already had their old batteries removed.
Optional:
- 16-bit AC97 sound with line-in as well as line out to work with audio samplers.

This will update my A2000's quite nicely.
A1000 - 2 Floppies, 2 MB RAM, OS 1.0-1.3
A500 - 170 MB HD, 8 MB RAM, OS 1.3/2.04
A2000 - 350 MB HD, 8 MB RAM, A2630, OS 2.04
A2500 - 540 MB HD, 8 MB RAM, A2630, OS 3.9
A1200 - 20 GB HD, 64 MB RAM, Blizzard IV
Amithlon - 49 GB HD, 768 MB RAM, PIII-1G
AROS - 80 GB HD, 2 GB RAM, P4-3.2GHz

One more thing, since the A500 model is the largest base of Amiga's out there:

- A side-car enclosure with a Zorro II slot to fit the multi-function card, I've proposed in my above post.

Between the A2000/A500 users for the Zorro II card, and A3000/A4000 users for the Zorro III boards, you'll have covered most Amiga models.  The A1200/A600 already have a lot of updated hardware for it.
