Hey does anybody have a layout of the board and a parts list?
I don't want to buy the wrong pats.
For example - I bought a 50MHz  68882 the other day in PGA packaging.
What if the board is set up for a differently packaged device?

Oops, Linde is right, I corrected it to GBA1000.

I'm not one to put down what someone wants.  This whole forum is based on an emotional rather than a logical response to a piece of hardware.

I just didn't foresee the demand being as great as it is and I thought I had a pretty good idea of how the Amiga market tended to go.

So are new ECS boards and A2000 (and A500) upgrades actually in demand?

I kind of figured that the Individual Computers upgrades had turned the A600 into the ultimate ECS machines these days, even though there are A2000's everywhere with faster CPU's and RTG.

I only own an A2000.
So, at my home, yeah they're in demand.
And still available (for one of the more reliable Amigas - IMHO).

For anything else I've got my evolving constellation of Macs.
Just finish using three abused Power books to make one.
I'm giving my MDD FW800 Power mac to a developer who wants to try to port Libre Office.
And once AmigaDave ships me a G5, I'm giving my Quicksilver (w/a 1333MHz processor in it) to Steven.
