| Would it be possible hypotheticly to have a expansion card or Amiga(MiniMiG) with (hardware) emulation bassed on a x86 chip (a cheap pIII maybe) giving you a hypotheticle emulated e.g 040 150mhz

Well, someone managed to get a 20Mhz Commodore 64 to emulate a primitive 8086 to run an early version of DOS or CP/M if I remember correctly, so it's probably possible. But other than proving it can be done, I really couldn't see a point in doing it. But then I'd think the same about reaching the top of Everest too.
Regards,
Shaun.

There are 486 hardware CPU cards but nothing faster that I know about. (The Emplant could have a 586 module attached but it was just to aid fast software emulation)
Oh and a 150Mhz 040 is probably only equal to a 50Mhz 060 anyway.
OS4 has a PPC 68K emulator (pertuna or something like that) that is ment to give very good speeds although on a Cyberstorm and Blizzard it seems you only get 060 speed again. :-/
Best thing is to buy a PPC card and run those nice new PPC programs, you know you want to. (PS: UAE Cant emulate a PPC CPU, although there are x86 PPC Emulators around)

"What do I care Ive finaly got a expansion card of Ebay"
Cool, What?
"I like you web page CDTV do you Know Where I can finD Shelock holmes-Consulting Detective for the CDTV (iso) "
Sorry but nope, I dont know any CDTV ISO Archive sites.
"Also do you think you could fit A1200 board in a CDTV and what if so what interface is the cd-Driveor any other iso cdtv for that matter"
The CD-Rom drive is a MKE/Philips interface so you would need a suitable PCMCIA card for that. (I think there was only one made, something like the CD1200... not the CD1200 made by Commodore though)
The A1200 is to wide I would say to fit in the CDTV's Case, although only by a little bit, if you removed the second joystick port you could probably fit it in after removing the PSU from the CDTV's case.
It would be tight though
