=== What it is ===
CPCISA is a project created by [[Siou]], also hosted/worked on at [[Yarek]].
ISA cards were almost fully supported, including 16-bit mode and vectorized interrupts(thru Z80 IM2). Only video cards were not supported (CPCISA decodes only I/O ports, not memory mapped VRAM).
=== Status ===
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 This is because the card was complex and outdated, ISA peripherals and the AT standard became old and difficult to find.
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...).
