Title: Clone-A demonstration in Aachen
Post by: CD32Freak on March 31, 2007, 07:57:12 PM

There was supposed to be a Clone-A demonstration in Aachen (Germany) (http://ami.ga/news/news123_e.htm) today. So I was wondering if anyone took pictures or got news? Did someone manage to crash the clone? :-D

First photos in this thread (http://www.a1k.org/forum/index.php?mode=viewthread&forum_id=2&thread=967&goto=9&post_nr=276#276) (A1k.org, German forum).
Apparently everything worked except for one demo. Still not clear if this was only an erroneous disk though.

That does look nice'n hacky - I like it, reminds me a bit of Lorraine. It seems they still have to integrate everything into one FPGA, the shown setup would be very expensive.

But Minimig looks wayy more elegant.

I was *REALLY* hoping that this meant that Jens was also re-releasing custom chips as FPGAs.   :-(  It would be nice to eventually know that you could get CIA, Gary, Denise, etc. replacements.


I have an A500 project I keep meaning to do, I'll probably buy a spare A500, just to have the extra chips, since they're so hard to find now.

That looks so, so sweet.  I would so buy a Clone-A (or similar) project if it had the ability to assign more chipmem and a way to fit an accelerator (not big on old games, sorry) :-)
