I know this is an even bigger ask, but Amiga  motherboards aren't getting any younger.  Would it be possible to have a  new Amiga motherboard?

And the most logical solution to tha problem would be:

I don't have one Amiga at this point that doesn't have some kind of hardware quirk. It is time for a FPGA board solution to offer:
A) full AGA and classic chipset emulation
B) 32 bit capability
C) Upgrade path-

 somekind of upgrade path so that we can move away from vintage hardware and offer a reasonable amount of compatibility.

In my opinion.

A proper tested and verified on as many as possible cards as possible: SCSI<->SATA bridge. What is out there today is scary and messy. If my motherboards were alive I'd really want an SSD... Or just a new scsi controller that really is a SATA controller.

A proper in-place programmable and externally reset-able 1M ROM ($F00000-$FFFFFF). Possibly as a Z2 programming device, or a clockport thing, or serial? Or something memory mapped. Needs many models as all Amigas are pretty different.

A SATA Zorro2/3 card would be good to use new hardrives and it is more reality then a 68060/FPGA accelerator or even an PPC accelerator.

Must add my support for these ideas to!
