Wouldn't it be cool to see Power PC A1200 cards that undercut the high cost X1000 and Sam boards and Phaser 5 PPC cards. I mean talk about a decent installed base of users, there seem to be a decent number of us A1200ers. I think for many of us that would be a win win situation.

It would have to take the concept of the Ami-Joe and follow throught, that is a PowerPC solution with an 030 0r 020 emulation.
You're underestimating the cost of developing these things. Also, there would be need to write firmware and drivers for these things, and they don't write themselves. Without some major hacking you wouldn't be able to run powerup or warpup. OS4 and MorphOS won't run either.

Considering the limited audience I doubt it would be "win" for the party creating the devices.
