It's got a 68000 processor running at 10Mhz
15.5M RAM
512K ROM
2 SID chips for audio
V9990 Video chip
Ethernet
USB
Hard drive interface
PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse ports plus a connector for an Amiga 500 keyboard
Video, Parallel, Serial ports and 2 joystick ports.

This project is heavily based on Simon Ferber's Kiwi computer (http://www.ist-schlau.de) just using a full 68000 instead of the 68008. I've tried to keep close to the original design so it should be possible to share source code between the systems.

Still very much a work in progress at this stage

Enjoy this project?

Amazing project....

Will it be for sale as a kit (or pre-built) when finished ?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Looks like you're pretty far along. I hope you'll make it to selling a board.
