ReAgnus is an Agnus replacement and doesn’t have any RAM.

I think this quote is quite accurate ;)

I appreciate that all TF projects are closed but I thought this might be interesting to anyone looking into this again.

Over the last few weeks (probably longer) some Commodore technical documentation has surfaced about the internals of some of the Amiga chips. They may have been available longer but I'd never seen them before. There are Agnus documents with a lot of detail I've never seen before including timing diagrams, state diagrams, even gate array schematics of the original OCS agnus.

I'm aware of all the documentation and i've had all these since before I started this. I'm not going to look at this project again. I have too many other things happening in my life.

Necrobump.

A few days ago the Kipper2k announced a project in conjunction with the Buffee team which included "Willoe" a direct replacement for 8375 Agnus (1MB, 2MB) and Alice.

https://github.com/nonarkitten/amiga_re ... -(ReAgnus)

I noticed this could be an evolution of "ReAgnus as developed by Stephen Leary"? It is included "for reference". If you had any part then thanks as I just can't get 8375 2MB PAL Agnii for anything.
