If fact, you'd better try to rebuild a complete "IIgs in a chip" like the Amiga minimig project (http://www.minimig.net/), if you want to build a ultra faster IIgs. They rebuilt an Amiga using an FPGA (and a 68000...For your project, you will need, also, to build an 65816 in FPGA).

For my part, it's not what I want/ I only want a working TWGS, at 14Mhz, with the maximum amount of cache if possible, but even a stable/working 7Mhz/8k will make me happy !
