What might be the best SB chip to use on Amiga PowerPC niche computer?
-What are we able to support (write drivers for)?
-What do we have already working/supported?
-What is the best technically?
-What is usable in sub EUR200 product? (UPDATE)
It would be nice to have all or some of these:
-some USB2 ports
-PCIe x1 port
-SATA ports
-i2s / some other audio solution
UPDATE:
If built from parts: (some chip families might be worth study)
-I think we have some bridge chips that work on riser cards (already with AOS4/MorphOS/AROS)
-there exist switch chips that enable to use separate component per function like USB3, SATA and audio
-there also might exist FPGA cores for some usefull southbridge kind of function...
UPDATE for googling:
Bridges for PCIe

SWITCH to have separate bridge chips on split/switched PCIe buses
