New type of accelerator design?
« on: July 07, 2009, 06:15:23 PM »
I was wondering. Since there are now things for the Amiga such as the CFIDE68k, and the MiniMig was invented, how difficult would it be to have an accelerator the size of an A1200 trapdoor that had either a programmable chip or an AMD 64x2, which could emulate a very fast 68020 or 68040?
    I'm thinking of a board whose sole purpose is to allow memory expansion and this emulation. Nothing else, unless it would be convenient in the case of a programmable chip to also provide USB, SATA, etc.
    I'm also wondering if this emulation would run Amiga programs much faster than a real chip? I know in WinUAE it is quite fast!
    Any thoughts? Would this be possible? Would you own such a device? There must be some interest in Amiga if GVP has recently come out with new accelerators?

Thanks for your consideration,
