NOT counting a Natami, or Minimig, or other FPGA thingamabob :lol:

I would like some new PPC/68K accelerator for the 1200s and 4000s
or some sort of ZorroII/III fast storage solution (IDE or SATA)
Heck, I'd like some sort of AIO Network, Storage, Sound card thingy, like an Xsurf/tocatta/SATA card...

For my A500+ I'd like a 68030 accelerator I think.  But they're a bit expensive on Ebay and ideally I'd also like the accelerator to feature an IDE port.

For my A1200T I'd like a Powerflyer because mine seems to have self destructed and we can't buy them anymore.  Oh, and a SharkPPC.  You did say "ideal".

AH

Hmm... I'd have to say a USB card that can run at USB2 speeds for me A1200's... :)

Failing the a little trapdoor on the top where a singing onion pops out every time you fart or burp and sings "I Did It My Way" in the voice of Arnold Stimely the not so well known Working Mens Clubs vocalist and keyboard player... that would be nice... :)

I'd like:

1) A combo '060 + PPC card for both the A1200 & A4000 & if it could use current memory modules

2) A Bridgeboard card with an i7 hectacore CPU that could run Windoze 7+

3) Maybe E3B could develop a Z3 Thunderbolt port card :/

4) Definitely need a PIO Accelerator like Elbox's FastATA Cards for the A1200 & A4000 since they're no longer building them.  It would be nice if either Individual Computer or E3B could work out an agreement to produce them & offer Elbox a percentage for the rights to manufacture & sell it.

Don't worry, I was only kidding about #3.

How about the unreleased Wildfire 4000, and a magic Delfina that doesn't crash and decodes AAC.

-A new 3D GFX card for blizzardPPC
-Zorro II/III bridgeboard with a Socket  1156 (real bridgeboard, not an STB with zorro conector)
-FPGA 68k accelerator or a new BlizzardPPC/cyberstormPPC like accelerator (With PA6T would be ideal)

Well I'd like to see -

A new accelerator for the CD32, no need for anything fancy, such as serial, parallel ports etc.. Just some provision for using modern medium like Compact Flash, maybe with the option of having a 030, additional Ram and clockport.

A new PPC card for the A1200 and A4000, running OS4.1 and Morphos. It should be powerful enough to play DVD's and Surf the web comfortably. It would ideally have onboard Sata and a local expansion bus allowing AGP graphics cards etc to be used at reasonable speeds.

Now if only I could win the lottery and make this happen.:)

Lazer mouse, I think I been spoilt by my PC wich I have logitech Darkfeild mouse that can even track on glass and is ultra sensitive and tracks perfectly, going back to my real Amiga recently was a bit of a pain because I haven't got USB ports for it and so still using the old track ball, and boy it did feel bad.  I was considering getting a ps/2 connector for it but it quite a bit of money for something I dont use as much as I use to.

Hello All,
I pray Jen's makes an Indivision for a genuine A4000T sooner than later than not at all!

Thanks in advance,

I'd love to see OS4 ported to 68k and run it on my  A4000/060.
