I spent already way too much on outdated m68k hardware. I don't see myself using it much, even if it had an 060. I have already a fully equipped Amiga, Atari and Mac sitting around. The A3k was free, I just could not see it go into the trash. If there were a reasonable priced FPGA accelerator, we could talk again. But the brick looks quite nice next to the Next cube :-) > >> About ZII memory??? I still might have a ZII card with some memory on it, > >> but memory with <5 MB/s bandwidth?

I should have a spare PicassoII as well, it did not make much of a difference when I bought the PIV for my A2k. I said, I spent already too much on m68k... So I need to get amiboot and a kernel image on a disk? That would be a great use for the 100MB IDE flash modules. I could use the Buddha from the A2k to connect them if needed. Christian
