Hardware I would like

[kolla]

I have a hardware need that I would loke to see solved by a simple kit:
* a tiny connector board that fits ATX window
* connectors for all amiga ports
* connectors for typically needed ports, like RJ45, USB, DVI, VGA, hdmi, audio in shape of jacks

This would simplify all kinds of towerizations/rack building, with cables from this ATX window board to all the amiga ports, plus the typical suspects.

Also, I really want a PCMCIA extender _cable_, so one can mount networkinh cards inside the case of A1200 and A600.

ACA32, adaptet to hook up A1200 acc boards to the expansion bus of CD32, preferably angled, so they can fit inside the casing, and if it can have ports too, all the better. I imagine something akin to SX32, only with A1200 acc board compatible extension slot.

I have been thinking many times that it should be possible to build an FPGA based board that together with some break-out boards should be able to replace all amiga mother boards. One replacement break-out board for A500/A600/A1200/CD32 cases (with all relevant keyboard connectors), and one for boxed Amiga systems with Zorro and PCI bus board options. Both using the very same FPGA based mother board.

How will the zorro3 slots work with a "deaccelerator"?

Full featured with a 68030?

Yes, why would that be a problem? If you look closely at the local bus expansion slot in A3000 and A4000, it's just a 68030 bus plus some additional signals.

In fact, 68030 is a better Zorro III bus master than 68040 or 68060. As far as I know, there are no existing implementations of 68040/68060 accelerators that can do burst to Zorro III space. While 68030-based cards do this without problems (since no additional logic is needed on the CPU card).

This is one of the reasons why cards like ZorRAM perform best while driven by 68030 .

Did you read the posting you were replying to? How does a 030 CPU card help "degrading" an A4000 to an A1200, let alone an A500, for playing games?

Why not remake of old cards?

Consumer electronics has moved on...
* what used to be 5V components are now typically 3V components.
* what used to be big components are now much, much smaller
* RHOS requirements

This, and more I am sure, adds up so that redesign is only option.
