nope. even the 'super local PPC -> BVision' interface gets just over 21MB/s

I mean a real A1400. A new Amiga motherboard, pizza-box design , hell, even
with an 060 on the motherboard. optional PPC plugin...which disables the 060
to run PPC 100% native without context switches. Proper PCI/AGP
implementation, plus (just as the PC MB's still have ISAs..just about!) a
couple of ZorroIII slots.
