I wonder if it will be possible to make an add on card that you would run the old stuff, kinda like a bridge board or something. Maybe something you could run from cli.


Sorry-- No.. It's not possible to make such card anymore... There are no suppllies of those old Special Chips Amiga used, and re-making them ain't going to be commercially vialble option.  Besides you shoudl have entire computer on a add-on board (with all things like CPU, Special chips etc) before it woudl be compatible enough for old games.. So-.. it's both cheaper and better to have real A500 for those old games.

At this point it's better to accept the fact that time has gone by of those old Amigas and start to look for future. It ain't going to be same as ten or twenty years ago (as Amigaone aren't as groundbreaking innovation as A1000 was in 85) but there are chances something interesting will happen.
