all that said, and true of course, my own concern (rather than
question) is that even if such a 'classic Amiga accelerator' of any
design spx would be available, for how long my old Amigas will be able
to perform properly thus make use of such accelerators?

i have more than a "couple of idle Amigas" that require some part or
repair and it seems they might never be usable again, at least in the
not so distant future! (come to think of it, the latest / newest
factory made original / classic Amigas were made in ????)

if it were to me to make it happen (and if i could do it too) i'd
re-manufacture (not just refurbish) new -old- Amigas!

(hey, "new -old- Amigas" ? what the heck does that mean please?)

:))
