No, what you want is an A3000T/A4000/T with a CSPPC 604e/060, a Mediator with Radeon 9200 running OS 4.1; that's what you want...

There are a couple of A4000s on offer down under if anyone's interested:
http://www.lemonamiga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10495

really I don't have room for one... so I'd have to MAKE room.  But, what I'd really like to see is NEW replacement A1200 motherboards with 68060.  Maybe also a new (physically compatible) case (this should be the easy part), we could call it the A1600?

Some time ago I saw for sale an adapter to use an Amiga keyboard on a PC (yes not the other way around), I'd quite like to play with that now but I can't find it again :(

@Xanxi I still have my old 500+ somewhere, I'm not attached to it.

I'm not looking for an A500 Plus. I want the Bodega Bay.

A bit small, POWER7+ has 80MB cache.  IBM mainframes have hundreds of MB of L4 cache.



As an aside I just got a new laptop.  It has as much cache as my Amiga had RAM when it was my main desktop.

Now if one could fit the OS into that cache, then it would be so fast your head would spin ;)
