ACA 500 accelerator www.amigakit.com

The only person designing accelerators at the moment is Jens Schoenfeld, and he's not interested in 68060s for various reasons... particularly because a new one would almost certainly lose him money and take years of his life. Interfacing a 68060 into an Amiga is far more difficult than a 68030.
If you need an acccelerator of that speed get one on eBay or Amibay- it'll be expensive but no more than a new one would be.

Back on topic....

Congrats to AmigaKit and Jens who I believe designed this rather ingenious piece of kit! Great for rejuvenating an A500!

Obviously missed the recent Elbox announcement, the recent pics from all those German groups and their homebrew accelerators, and a few others... but hey, competition is a good thing, I'd be more concerned is the Amiga market big enough to sustain all this development?  LOL :crazy:

I know of the FPGA A600 accelerator,  which looks like it has potential, but I'm talking of full commercial products which can be bought from shops, rather than homebrew (though I hope he does get them sold at retail because it looks great!)

What is this Elbox announcement? With their track record though I'll believe it when I see it (after their announcements of Coldfire, SharkPPC etc.)

What other accelerators are there?

And the Elbox announcement is at the top of the amiga.org news right now.  

I'm the sort of person who will spend 20 minutes looking for a pair of pliers before finding them directly in front of me in plain sight.
I can see it now, though.... it's hidden below another news announcement.

Does look good, but again it's just a 68030, much simpler than an 060.
