I sort of agree with the modulat approach, since it will be up to the end user to add modules he or she wants.
But I do not see the point in using old chips, with old speeds, since all the chips can be replaced with fpga, we could have aga compatible chips, high speed and with 32 bit capability. But then again, the Overload board can be build now.
Jens can probably replicate or even improve upon the AGA chipset, so I'm a little confused by this design as well.
But it will probably be the last run of boards with real Amiga hardware.
So I may have to consider one myself.
