About 15-20 years ago, I had an Amiga1200 and I saw a commercial about Amiga's going to use PowerPC processors.
They created a turboboard for the Amiga1200 with a Motorola 68060 and a PowerPC603 processor combined onto one card, which could be mounted inside the Amiga.
Then the computer would be able to use standard Amiga programs and PowerPC programs as well.
I always dreamed of this card, but Amiga was slowly dying and I didn't buy the card (the Amiga already has the Blizzard1260 turboboard, equipped with a Motorola 68060 processor @ 50MHz and 32Mb RAM onboard).
But that's where my nickname comes from.
