re: Cost of reinventing antique chips:

1.  Find present chip manufacturer willing to waste vast amounts of time for little return or start up your own company.

2.  Ramp-up costs

3. Quality control and testing

4. production begins on 15 year old technology because, fer shur, Paula really does sound better than the latest Sound Blaster, and a naked AGA set looks soooooo much better than a Voodoo card display.

Price: Overwhelming.  Returns:  Next to none.  Usefullness: Questionable
