I don't like to talk about the Boxer, it's the one project I've really
wanted to see come to fruition, and I've almost given up hope.
As replacement motherboards, or rather lack of them, is
the main cause of Amigas finally dying and being unrevivable, the
Boxer would solve that problem, and even enhance the hardware
considerably.

I'd be over the moon to see it appear, notwithstanding the move to the
new Amiga. There are plenty of us who would want one to enhance/repair
our classic hardware, I'm sure. From all the info I've read, the Boxer
would form the basis of a very nice classic Amiga system.

I'm not a betting man, and I even have trouble being an optimist these
days ;-)
