Just imagining a 10x potential speed increase across the Zorro bus :)  

It took 457 of us to raise $29,656 for some documentary, if someone talented like Michael Böhmer could be convinced to make
a fully working Buster in FPGA, surely we could raise an equal amount to make the Holy Grail of A3000/A4000 upgrades a reality.

im not sure if the cards would be able to take advantage of updated speed.


The biggest beneficiary is probably the Mediator busboard,  all cards using it at the moment are crippled by Buster limitations from a achieving anywhere near their full potential.
Also ZorroIII based cards like ZorRAM, and any future cards like the upcoming BigRamPlus from Individual computers would also see a significant speed increase.
