at least 1 56 K modem RJ25 jack

What is 56 K modem? What is RJ25 jack?

Would really like:
4 or 8 Megs chip ram (as well as 8 megs Fast.)
Second modem jack for ring or star lan.

More than 2MB chip is not supported by AmigaOS, so no point with that. Modem jack for ring or star lan? Jack? Token Ring? ArcNet? Ethernet? What?  :-?

I will add SVHS and composite video connectors and keep both PS/2 ports.

SVHS? You mean S-video, right? I dont feel any need to hooking up an old VHS tape deck, super or not ... :-)

As for IDE/PATA, are there any good reasons for not using SATA instead?

SVHS and S-Video are the same. Not every TV has a SCART connector.

Uhm, no? Super-VHS is a video tape format, S-Video is a video signal standard.

Probably all SATA controllers are PCI/PCIe based. Iplementation in an FPGA requires embeded SER/DES and external PHY.

No, there are cheap ATA-SATA converters around, you can stick them into the 44 pin IDE port and attach two SATA devices. Just google for "ide sata converter" :-)

I just ask since the IDE port takes up quite a bit of space on the boards.
