Old Amiga new insides.

Would be kind of nice to have a fully Amiga compatible system built around a fast 68060 (FPGA or otherwise) that was completely compatible with existing expansions.

But of course at a reasonable price.  If for no other reason that the systems are getting old.  Then again, I've had many other x86 based stuff just randomly die on me, yet my A4000 is still running awesome (once I had the caps replaced).

Someone is doing an Amiga 500 replacement motherboard. He is stalled though due to lack of funds.

Nice!  I think someone did one for the A1000 as well, though it wasn't a full replacement, I think you had to get the chips yourself, if I recall correctly.

I think it'd be sweet if we could get a massive 'build your own Amiga kit.' like they used to do with the computer kits back in the 60s-70s.  

It'd also be nice if someone would build a faster/better AGA.  Maybe one that is tweaked to be able to fully use fast ram.
