That accelerator is amazing, thanks for sharing. It upgrades the A500, released in 1989* to be faster than the A1200, released in 1992. The design is "time period correct" too, it doesn't do anything that couldn't have been done back then.

But... how is that possible? The Amiga 1200 has a 32 bit wide bus and is also 14MHz?! Commodore did the stupid thing again and didn't put any fast-RAM on the machine.

* The Amiga 500 is basically a cost optimized Amiga 1000, released in 1985.
