bunsen: WinUAE is an easy option if you want to get amiga stuff running. There is no reason why you must use amiga hardware..
But given you want actual hardware, this is way better than most existing 50mhz amigas. . It benches almost as fast as an a4000 while retaining 030 compatibility. IMO you get the best of both worlds (faster more reliable tech, perfect compatibility).
The fact that it is done from scratch & the design is open means everything can be improved also.
unknown k: Hence why making new hardware like the above is the go. Most of the custom chips are scavenged from an 500. Shame nobody is populating the boards for a fee.
