Where is Individual Computers Clone-A

I believe they have their code there ready for FPGA technology to catch up and become cost effective.

The work on the Denise chip for Clone-A is used in the Indivision ECS.

Clone-A project would be excellent to fix Amigas with a single faulty chip with a swap.

The availability of the original chips would make this an unlikely use. You can get almost any chip (bar a couple of A3000 chips) for almost nothing.

Frankly, I don't understand the FPGA Amiga concept anyway.

Cost. No-one is ever going to have the money to make new dedicated chips for the Amiga ever again.

Whether you merely emulated the legacy hasrdware ior attempt to enhance it, nothing you can produce with an FPGA is going to compare to the processing power in an NG system. Its just a fact, dedicated silicon is much faster than prograsmmable arrays (and always wil be).

Fecking cheaper though. $0 NRE for FPGA vs $Millions for ASIC silicon

If they are smart they will do it in the form of a "library". All ROMs and disk images will be displayed with snapshots/covers and by selecting the game programs the FPGA with the right core (Amiga, Atari, C64, Spectrum etc) could be great.
