hmm, I'm tempted byt he Mediator, which is now very popular in the AmigaOS
world.... *that* board would also require its access to PCI space. In this
way we could have a similar 'access port'

fortunately work could be done on it under the PM2FB as that can coexist


I'm more 'worried' about AmigaONE as that works backwards.....the PPC is
on the AmigaONE and the old Amiga is accessed as a PCI device....
perhaps a new kernel... Linux/A1 project would have to be done for this?
..except that it should be so much closer to a CHrp/PreP Mac kernel
than the current APUS one.
