More info on 'Amiga Reloaded'

Amiga Reloaded sounds cool!

"USB functionality can be added with the X-Surf-100 version of RapidRoad."
"The Amiga Reloaded will use the same expansion port as the ACA500 and ACA500plus for a networking card."

Ideally there should be USB and RJ45 as a standard nowdays.

Is this what Jens call "Clone-A"?

No. Clone-A was/is a project to replace CBM made chipset with FPGA chips.
Amiga Reloaded would use existing (CBM manufactured) components.

Clone-A "went the way of "no more announcements until it's done"." was said by Jens in 2011.

Something different, I did not know or remember there was also "Amy the Dream Clone".

Are they original chips ?   Is this not the outcome of the Amiga clone he was working on for years.

" I located the actual stock of chips in multiple locations. One had Lisa chips, another had Alice, and a third had Paula. During the late 90s, these people believed that they had "gold", and they could not agree on a project because everyone was demanding a too-high share of whatever money they could make. With everyone in the boat being able to block each other, new Amigas never happened.

Almost 20 years after, I managed to convince each and everyone of them to sell me their remaining stock.
