AmigaOne cpu card

So we have a cpu on a daughtercard connected with those megarray socket but the socket itself is incompatible to those on older powermac.

Am I dreaming if I think of a sort of signal converter from one to the other that give us the possibility to installa something like this:

Not too shy to talk

@murasame In short-- yes
Alan Redhouse already stated that no other cpu card would work with the A1. We already pushed the boundaries when the cpu reworks were made possible along with a good supply of compatible cpu's.
But hey don't let that stop you trying.

If a conversion megarray board could be made into which you could fit the accelerator, you would still have the problem of the lack of dual PPC CPU support in OS4.1, MOS, AROS, etc.

@Swisso
My question was a simple assumption that since apple and A1s cpu cards sit the same bus with the same (more or less) signals and voltage the conversion should be possible.

@interrogative

There are also single cpu solutions that are way more powerful that actual ones available on A1s

It's always going to be difficult for software to support hardware that doesn't exist, no?
