This is obviously a chicken-or-egg problem. Basically, you would build it just like an FPGA, where the interconnections are made with programmed transmission gates. However, instead of switching logic gates, you would be switching integrators and other analog building blocks. Note that people have already done this, but switched "artificial neuron synapses" instead of more general purpose analog building blocks. Such a device attached to a PC as an outboard processor could enable really general purpose hyper-Turing computation at pretty much full unhindered speeds. I see the promise here, but so far I seem to stand alone in this.
