A project I'd like to see from Jens...

[skolman]

... 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...

which means compatibility with almost nothing

All which requires a lot of computing power.

"(...) In addition to the binary license, Hyperion will grant Individual Computers access to the source code of the IDE driver for further development which may facilitate installation of AmigaOS 4.1 ..." http://icomp.de/news/news144_e.htm

That is nice. It's fast enough for using the internet.

What would be nice is to get all Amiga platforms to remain compatible. 68k is there by default. PowerPC has the 2nd most software.
The only time it isn't an Amiga is when you have to use another OS to set something up.
