Even if ignoring every other unrealistic bit in this thread:

Who would write the drivers for the PCI and/or AGP cards? They don't just magically work once plugged in.

Natami:
Now, this kit will give you PCI.

But it what it won't give you is the drivers. Having PCI slots you can't plug any cards into is quite pointless.

Regarding Natami, it does sound awful lot like the author has a bad case of "featurutus", that is piling more and more features that'll always further complicate the project and make it less and less likely to ever get finished.

Such stories of creeping featurism are not unheard of in the amiga world. The story of BoXer comes to mind.
