Mind you, WinUAE and a Catweasel mk4 does a good job! |

I'd love one of these, just for the coolness factor - never going to happen... *sigh*

IIRC the problem (Apart from the company going bust) was that the AGA chipset was not available either in schematic form or as real chips, so it had to be reverse engineered. For a product as niche as this, the only cost-effective way to clone it would be on FPGA, which I guess would be the same design as intended for the BoXeR. but it's 10 years later now, Minimig proves that you can produce a functional clone of an amiga chipset on FPGA, and it's probably only a matter of time until someone manages to clone AGA. From that point I don't think it would be a huge leap to put it onto a PCI card and have it work through the host machine, it may even be possible to do cool tricks like having the host CPU emulate a very fast 68k CPU, but I confess I don't entirely know the levels of pain involved in getting something like that to work... |

Probaby high, though if it were to be done, a pci-e design would probably be more future-proof.
