There's a

I've seriously contemplated making my own matching memory expansion
module for my VXL/30 A500 cpu accelerator. Fairly complicated because I
have to create a DRAM controller. Thinking FGPA w/ a pre-made memory
controller core.
Then
there's the mediator from elbox. All we need now is for someone to
make a new 68060 accelerator upgrade for the 1200 and/or the cpu slots
like in the 2000. Those seem unlikely inspite of the crazy prices
those boards get on ebay. Even 68040 upgrade boards would be
exceedingly popular.
Yeah, it's absolutely amazing what prices those things command. I'd
love to get a back-up A500 accelerator board.
I've been buying/collecting all types of amiga documentation. I've been
trying to really figure how it works --- alot of stuff happening inside
that computer from 20+ years ago.
I've made an external usb amiga floppy drive controller. Attaches to USB
on PC and a regular 34-pin floppy drive -- creates .ADFs for archiving,
emulators, etc. Fun project. It's prototyped and not easily/cost
effectively reproducible. But lots of fun.
