The site is kinda sparse on details so far - Wondering if the 256 is going to be along the lines of the initial C-One concept where it would have something like a Monster SID (multiples of 3 voices) and a Super VIC (massive resolutions, copper list, etc.)

These were the Specs Jeri Ellsworth had hoped for initially: http://c64upgra.de/c-one/s_specs.htm

Unfortunately costs/manufacturing decisions curtailed much of that.

I don't believe the 256 will be like a C-one. Graphic Controller wise, it ought to be closer to an A500 than anything else. For the sound, I too would like to come up with something that would be more than just 3 voices. A 6 Voices SID Per Channel, like a 6586 or 8586 would be great!

As far as know, the C-one was abandoned or never completely finished... Was it?

Otherwise, I am sorry if the information is sparse right now, the whole SnapEDA interview caught me off guard. I wasn't quite ready to deal with that kind of attention. Not now, anyway! Cheers, Stefany
