Aye, that could be a force to be reckoned with...
The ability to emulate 68000->060 at many times the speed. Whew...

Now combine our ideas - over 1Gig of RAM and a CPU with a little ass pushing.

Scary.

Or the 3000T and have 5 of them.  Or, how about 7 DKB 3128's (ok, so I can cheat with my Micronik busboard with 7 ZIII slots!).

Although, I tend to think that 64M is more than enough.  My A3000D has a PP&S Mercury 040/35MHz with 32M + 8M on the motherboard and I never ran out of FAST RAM.    
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Sorry, but that won`t work, since the DKB3128 uses DMA and only 5 (or was it 6) of the slots are able to do DMA (like the commodoreguidelines stated), the others are non DMA. There were some Eagleboards that even had 8 Zorro III Slots.
I`m not sure how this ist handled, if there are up to 5 DMA-cards possible at once in any slot, or if simply Slot 1-5 can do DMA and the others don`t
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

@lemmink:

As the DKB3128 is a RAM-expansion-card, it wont be able to actively transfer data by itself over the ZIII-bus (doing DMA) - it is not a DMA-card.
