New project for the benefit of all classic computing!

Actually, what would be great and practical would be full speed PCI slots for GFX card, SATA, ethernet and USB. A new motherboard fitting a common tower standard with empty 68060 CPU slot, fpga for the custom chips (MiniMig code is available), PCI 5-7 full speed slots, ATX power supply connector, 2-3 1MB MAPROM flash slots (AROS kickstart needs 1MB kickstart) and 1-2 GB of ram. It should be priced $500-$1000 U.S for the motherboard.

1) An RTG solution for the A1200. maybe a small pcb that fits between the mobo and the accelerator board.
2) A cheap USB solution for the clockport.

Jens Schoenfeld has never made an 060 card that I have ever heard about.

However 2 other persons in the Amiga community have recently made 060 cards:

Thomas Hirsch made 5 working 060 cards for the Natami prototypes.

That FPGAreplay guy (I forgot his name) has made at least 1 or 2 060 cards for the replay and will probably start cranking them out en masse before long. But his 060 card only has 128MB RAM which is like exactly what I (and various friends) already have.  So if I buy one its a sidegrade, not an upgrade. :/

Well actually Georg Braun who made GBA1000 mobo also made a 060 accellerator that plugs into a 030 cpu socket. I personally think this is way way cool, and could potentially give, every one who has a 030 in a socket, a 060 board.

And actually if you take a look at his rev 5 of the GBA, it has a 68060 directly mounted on the motherboard.

Maybe it could be wise to contact him.

would it be possible to ad an USB hub to the card, so you have 4 USB ports on the card?
Maybe 3 external and 1 internal.

take a look at http://www.gb97816.homepage.t-online.de/projekte.htm, his rev 5 of the GBA has a 060 soldered directly to the mobo.

I have the tools to assembly such a board.

Or better yet, do like the RaspberryPi and use a lan9512 USB hub chip that has built in Ethernet!!

That would indeed be better
