I wonder if some people is working on improving it with:

-hardfile support
-more ram
-HD controller
-Real floppy controller
-using a 060EC. These cpus are cheap, work with 3.3v and since you can change the FPGA to work with it, you wouldn't need to convert the 060 bus into a 030 bus so it would be very fast
-AGA support?
-some chips to handle 5v signals so you can fit an A2000 cpu accelerator?


Egads guy, walk before you can run!

My own PCB (still only halfway etching it, damn this 24-hour day) has an A500-style slot on it, but it's 3.3v rather than 5v.

is it possible to put the FPGA into something like a PLLC socket ? I'm not even sure such a formfactor exists, but it would make the minimig production 100 times easier.


Would be the same amount of work really.  You'd have to build a board for the FPGA to sit on first, as they don't come that way normally.
