Whilst some of the commercial negotiations are still to finish on the actual
software that will ship with the board/on the flash ROM, the hardware will
be designed to be able to run either the H&P emulation or MorphosPPC, as
well as Amiga DE. You will not need a 68k or phase 5 PPC accelerator. You
will have the option of the G3 or G4 or no modules (which are readily
available via mac channels new and secondhand) but one of these will be
needed both for Classic Amiga and Amiga DE os's. If you can change a simm
then you will have the ability to upgrade the cpu yourself.
