  What I would like to see would be a new sound board for the Amiga,
something much like a Roland MT-32 (now sadly not being produced, I'm
told) on a board.  The board would probably run about $300, given the
cost of the MT-32 and the lack of a case (optional case and power
supply for the A500...).  Having 8 (or 16...) more voices, with much
better sound would be fantastic, and since it would be an Amiga
specific product, developers could write music to use it with some
assurance that instrument #44 is a slap bass, and not ice bells. 
Amiga sound, nice though it is, really needs this kind of boost.
