Custom chips: Clone-A news
Press release:
The prototype of our Clone-A project - a re-implementation of the Amiga-chipset with modern technology - has been demostrated at the AmiWest show last weekend in Sacramento, California. Many visitors followed our request to bring along disks and programs that put the compatibility of our chipset to the test. None of the programs were a problem for Clone-A. We're especially proud that a previously unpublished demo works fine with Clone-A. According to the author, it does not work properly on the emulator UAE. Special thanks for this go to Christian Herden who brought the demo to the Amiwest show.
Sound-magician Chris Hülsbeck approved of the exact audio playback of Clone-A. Even complicated music routines like the 7-voice title track of Turrican II and the unconventionally programmed ingame-sounds of Apidya were convincing to the ears of the master.

Many users have requested Clone-A to be a PCI card for the current PPC boards on the market. As part of the Efika developer program, we offered to develop Clone-A into a PCI card that works with Efika and other PPC boards by BPlan. Today, our offer has been rejected.
Genesi's rejection will have no influence on further development of Clone-A. (cg) (Translation: cg)
