Here's my stupid question disclaimer: I know literally nothing about hardware development. I'm a software guy.
Having said that, I was very interested in the talk about some project or other. I can't remember if it was the minimig or something else. Anyway, everyone was talking about emulating a 68000 in one of these new-fangled reprogrammable logic contraptions. (FPGA?) The idea was that they could recreate the 68000, then amp up the clock rate to something serious.
I've also read that the amiga was nice for developing accelerator boards because of it's design. If this is the case, would it really be that difficult for someone to emulate a 68030 (with mmu and fpu) at a higher clock speed? Add in some memory and a buddha from jens, maybe a clock port.
I mean, compared to a buddha, deneb, indivision, mediator, etc, is this really that hard to do? I've heard that recreating the powerpc half would be tough. But I know a lot of people would be interested in a motorola-only accerator board for the 2000/500/600/1200.
