What Amiga product do *YOU* would want. Please read.

I do not know if it would be possible oraffordable, but a new mobo would be nice. Something with an 060 and 4 or 5 PCI slots. I would think that this would eliminate a lot of the bottlenecks that you get with a1200 - 060 accelerator combos.

My price point would be approx. $300USD. For that price I would like to see a mobo with an 060, four PCI  slots, three DIMM slots, and basic connectors (serial, parallel, IDE).  I do not know if it would be necessaru to have all the classic vid & sound chips, perhaps a custom boot disk would allow you to go straight to a vid card.

 Anyway, that's my two cents.

Aren't you guys really thinking slightly in terms of a Pegasos with a 68060 instead of a PPC? So a 060 card for the pegasos would be the product you want? That would of course limit you to the old Amiga3.x OS's forever (with heavy patches), it's performance would be inferiour, and you would not be able to use the improved MorphOS/OS4 ...

Yeah, I guess that is what I am asking for :huh:
As far as not being able to use OS4, that is not really for me.  If I want to use a modern OS, I have a Mac and a PC that I can use. For me, it is about being able to have an affordable retro system. I know a lot of miggy HW is available on the cheap, but it is getting old, and Zorro cards for this hardware have never been cheap. A new clasic mobo would be less likely to die because of age related problems, and I would be able to take advantage of cheap PCI cards, assuming of course driver support is there.

Lastly, I have been eyeing a Pegasos II mobo off and on since it was released. I probably would have spent my christmas bonus on one, but I am finding out just how expensive a fianace(sp?) can be :-o
