You're both right.  The hardware accelerator project was a hardware assist to
the software (transformer) project.  This has been canceled.

The "sidecar" just announced is more like an IBM-PC(tm) motherboard, 
attached to the Amiga expansion buss + the software that allows your
IBM looking stuff to run as a window on the workbench screen.

(good stuff!, you'll like it.)
