In general, this is a viable approach, and in fact there were several of
these boards discussed in this group a few months back.  One was made by
and outfit known as CSA.

I don't know their current status.

The Amiga is supposed to contain the basic software hooks to take care of
68000/68010/68020 compatability, but I've never heard anything as far as
68881 support.
