CPCISA

/* Status */ typo
The card is working, however only five of them were built (including the initial dev board). This is because the card was complex and outdated, ISA peripherals and the AT standard became old and difficult to find.
Most CPCISA softwares software were created by Siou himself (IDE hard disk, ethernet and mouse drivers, as well a an audio sample player thru SoundBlaster 8-bit interface). Initial OS support was done by [[Futur's]] with a set of two ROMs ("Interrupt Lib" ROM to add vectorized interrupt support to Locomotive Firmware, and "ISA ROM" with low level ISA routines). [[Madram]] also created an Adlib music player supporting SA2 module files, which was later adapted by [[PulkoMandy]] to play these modules with the [[Willy]] card equipped with a OPL3LPT device.
It was mostly a proof of concept; none of the drivers and software came to a state really usable for the end user (no filesystem support, no TCP/IP stack...).
