| |
| − | | |
| − | * CLI -- A platform agnostic kernel and CLI is in development for use across the entire Foenix line.
| |
| − | * FX/OS -- A Clean-Room GUI for the Foenix, written in C and presently compiling for the 65816.

| − | The Foenix machines are an 8-bit musician's dream! All models include a TI SN76489, a Yamaha OPL3 (Sound Blaster), two Gideon FPGA SIDs, and a 16-bit CODEC. The FMX model further include MIDI ports, a Yamaha OPM, and a Yamaha OPN. You can also add two additional SIDs to any model. Turn your Foenix into the ultimate chip-tune machine, use it as a sound-module containing every classic FM-synth you every wanted, or directly implement your own MIDI transformations without having to wade through 30 years of operating system baggage!
