Hardware I would like

[strim]

For A3000 and A4000. I would like some overclocked accelerator cards. Also a 'decelerator' for the A4000 so you could play A500/A1200 games on it.

We're working on something like that...

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

As usual. Decelerator 4030 will be a full-featured A3000/A4000 local bus master (and a slave for the purpose of Z3 DMA).

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?

You could have been more elaborate in your post. Obviously, the processor itself can not degrade anything else. What am I doing here is just WHDload-optimized CPU card.
