What would you buy for classic Amiga?

[ElPolloDiabl]

Replacement Parts.
An FPGA based add-on that replaces most of the legacy chips.
More USB and USB based add-ons
More Zorro or CPU slot based add-ons
Tower upgrades.
None.

Accelerator card, need more power!

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I'd love to see a modern '040 or '060-based A2000 accelerator, with SCSI+IDE and 128MB of RAM.  I won't hold my breath.

Replacement parts some chips are very difficult to source especially Amber and LSI1024-60LJ.

Myself, I'd be most interested in:

Accelerators, especially for A4000, CDTV, and A2000
CDTV upgrades (especially RAM, PROM upgrade, usb)

[NovaCoder]

I'd buy an FGPA accelerator but it would have to be faster and have more memory than my Blizzy 1260

An IdeFix Express Mrk2 with SATA might be tempting if Jens every finishes it!

Not really interested in much else, and I don't think USB is really that useful on an A1200.

Sound cards are cool but again, not quite so useful on an A1200 (due to clock-port bandwidth and lack of space).

If I had an A3000 then I'd be interested in CPU/HD/GFX/SFX/USB upgrades

[Heiroglyph]

Mixing Zorro and CPU slot in one vote is a mistake IMHO.

I'm not really interested in Zorro, but a 4000/3000 060 (or faster) card with RAM and storage (fast DMA IDE or even better SATA) would be a quick sale.

Run PCI directly from it through a cable to replace the Mediator Zorro/PCI bridge card and I'd definitely be buying at least one. That wouldn't be limited to ZorroIII speeds and could finally do DMA properly.

Hell, I'd be up for a decked out A2000 060 card before I'd buy more Zorro. That might make my stack of A2000s useful again.

Going lower than a severely overclocked 040 would be of very limited use in the big boxes though. I'll supply my own 060 if I needed to.

I don't know why I posted in a wish list thread, but there it is. lol

[ElPolloDiabl]

I thought because of the scarcity of 68k chips there wouldn't be any point having an accelerator option.
Someone should do a diy version.

[gertsy]

The top 4 on the list really. But I could only choose one item.
Putting a classic in a tower is so 2000 now.

[amoskodare]

Not sure...

..if I need anything for my classic...

This sounds real good. Add a fast bus with fast memory and I'll buy 2!

[sim085]

I would like an FPGA based accelerator card to buy *hint* *hint*

[SamuraiCrow]

FPGA board!  What else?  Most recent FPGAs can match or beat a 68k anyway so who needs an accelerator board separately?

[Ancalimon]

A new accelerator for A1200 (and even A4000) that features a socket for 060 (or a 060), fastest possible ppc for AmigaOS4.1, RTG and SATA

[JimS]

I'd like to see some sort of super upgrade board, probably for the CPU slot. It would have one really big or maybe two smaller FPGAs. These would replace a 68060 CPU- or if better for software compatibility, implement a really fast 32bit 68K. There would also be a boatload of fastram. The FPGAs would also hold a RTG display, 16bit sound, ethernet, and IDE or SATA interface. .... easy, eh? ;-)
