(1) ...to have 100m/bit ethernet on an Amiga?

Ok, the zorro II bus doesn't have the bandwidth for full fast-ethernet, but ignoring the hardware side, what revisions would it take to the IP stack and a NIC, assuming using flow-control to regulate transmisson speed?

(2) ... to have 'new' hardware runs of accelerator cards

Lets say a limited run of 100 Cyberstorm IIIs or PPCs, perhaps some WarpEngines too. And some NIC cards. Maybe some gfx cards. Who holds the IP (and would want royalties), what are the costs of small runs like this
