Which (the 68030 - addition by me) also seems to be the actual most common CPU expansion for all the Amiga models! Very little apart from Demos actually uses/needs 68060+ Well, some Amiga models came with a 68030 on-board already (the A3000, some versions of the A4000), and they still have a CPU ex...

I hate footie too, I just know there were a few famous forumites screaming at the telly last night, some in joy, some in rage

So you reckon us QPC2 users are an isolated population?

Let the emulator wars commence

So I have restricted myself to experimenting with 68030 and below, which retain the asynchronous bus.

But, the Amiga A1200 has a Vampire addon, that attaches to the 68020 CPU and seems to work quite well.

It doesn't attach to CPU, it attaches to the expansion bus which has a pin to disable internal CPU.

Forgive me if I got this wrong, but my understanding is that Vampire is not a drop-in replacement CPU; it is an Amiga-specific board, containing, among other things, a disk controller, video and audio components.. The Buffee (formerly Buffy) board, however, is a systems agnostic drop-in replacement...

When you design it I guess

That looks like minerva is running and has tried to print a ram error. And you are generating a valid video signal, my money would be on a failed address or data line somewhere around the ram (bad chip, multiplexer chip fail etc)
