Really, the old singular solutions are still available, various accel cards, ram expansions, etc.  If you want to sell me something new for an A500, it needs to be more comprehensive in its function, sort of like the old Rejuevinator card for the A1000.

How tough is it to design a card that runs a 28 Mhz 68000, 8 Megs of fast ram, an IDE interface, and one or two clock port headers.  The whole thing should connect under the existing 68000 and not interfer with the Indivision ECS.

This would make a very capable and clean A500 without multiply expansions hanging off the left hand side.  I'd certainly buy one (or more).
