ACK Controls, the company behind the newly announced Amiga hardware, has held an IRC session where they answered questions and provided more details concerning the upcoming hardware. According to ACK, the promised hardware will arrive with OS4 despite the legal battle going on between Amiga Inc. and Hyperion. On the high-spec machine (USD 1500), they said: "It's faster than anything Apple ever produced on the PowerPC side of things." Which is interesting, to say the least. The transcript containts many more details, and the Amiga community is discussing the matter as well.

Ackcontrols: PCI is still readily available. More so than AGP.
That's not true - check NewEgg. Less than 50 PCI graphic cards, 150-ish AGP cards, and over 400 PCIe cards. Of course none of that matters except which cards will have full driver support.
Although I will say, it's faster than anything Apple ever produced on the PowerPC side of thiings.
Perhaps he meant to say "PocketPC"?
And people want IDE?
He seems suprised. SATA hard drives are more expensive. SATA optical drives are more expensive and there are fewer choices. So IDE would seem like the way to go, at least on the low-end machine.
