Fully compatible clone.

It was meant as a kiosk machine for the enterprise market.

Thank you, nice to know.

Well it would be a great item in my collection but it´s a bit out of my price range atm :)

it's missing some of the custom chips, though. so maybe not technically 100% compatible, eh?

it has the most important ones, Lisa, Alice, Paula. These mean you have full graphics and sound compatibility. Missing chips gayle and budgie were responsible for stuff like IDE and PCMCIA. You're only missing on PCMCIA and IDE is replaced with a better controller anyway.

If I remember correctly the CD32 didn't have the gayle and budgie. The SX-1 adapter added ram and an IDE controller and worked perfectly using other non Amiga chips.

A shame these were made in such limited runs.

Makes me wonder what good some of those custom chips were then, if they could easily be replaced.
