This sounds very ambitious.

I for one would snap up a new ppc card if it were available, even an 040 or 060 would be nice.

There is so much negativity around this, why can't people be positive?  Some encouragement wouldn't be a bad thing.

Good luck, I suspect you will need it though!

there is negativity because many have heard dozens of times people coming up with some stupid idea that has zeeerrrooo chance and tries to drum up enthusiasm for it and then it disapears. hang on a sec ill try...

 :-D  :-D  :-D great this is soooo cool i want like five ill take pics of all my amiga stuff and my dog and you can clone that too!!! :-o  :-)  when is your release date? can i send some money now? :-o
wait, not done yet :banana:  :banana:  :banana: there.

good luck though :roll:

sorry that was over the top... there are sites were you can get lots of info on 060 cpu stuff including one for the atari that could presumably be reengineered for the miggy.
over the topp ma haaaahahahaha

here have your experts scan this website for real info.   try the tech link towards the bottom there are schematics and stuff there

according to wikiquote:

640K ought to be enough for anybody.
Often attributed to Gates in 1981. Gates considered the IBM PC's 640kB program memory a significant breakthrough over 8-bit systems that were typically limited to 64kB, but he has denied making this remark.[3] Also see the 1989 and 1993 remarks above.
I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time... I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.

not true that that is a quote of bill gates, see my post above from wikiquote. he said that he never said that, noone has any reference or citation of him ever saying that. it is probably from someone who doesnt like him or microsoft.

in 81 he said it should be good for 10 years or so. it wasnt till 6yrs later people really wanted more but not until win95 came out that it was really put to good use.
he was comparing the 640k to the 64k 8bit cpus could use

i think everything about how pcs took off suprised everyone back then and then the price of ram dropped

the amount of glue logic to adapt signals from a x86 to a 68k socket would be very expensive, inefficient, and require a significant amount of engineering.
imagine adapting a core2 duo to a 286 motherboard add emulation in (not a big hit but still) and expect how much in perforamnce.

emulation gives you all the benefits of the x86 accelerator plus it has a new (no caps leaking) motherboard and practically free piccasso video.
