Count me in for 2 or three accelerators please.  "If you build it, they will come.".

Something that doesn't exist of course is going to get zero sales.  

I also believe if there was a brand new and reasonably priced accelerator for A3/4000(T) it would sell in the hundreds of units.

You could even sell it without 060 and users of existing boards could move their 060 over...would save on the cost.

Specs could be:

68060 socket
1 or 2 socket(s) for PC-133 memory (upto 512MB or 1GB)
UW SCSI similar to Cybervision PPC/MK3 SCSI
OR DMA IDE chip for fast IDE hard drive (better yet, two SATA ports instead of IDE).

bonus: gfx chip, ethernet, sound. :)

Let's not get carried away... :)

I'd be happy with the 060 socket and PC-133 RAM.

PowerPC accelerator...that would take the cake :)

I think JJ is doing a roaring business there....I just got my Cyberstorm PPC repaired from him, too.  He replaced the 060 socket... :)

I also "fixed" the intermittant PPC by clamping it down tight to the board by using a big heavy, screwed-on heatsink.  So now the PPC is cool and reliable :)
