This gallery allows you a short insight view into the development of a fairly complex product - the DENEB. Starting from a first design study during ALGOR development over the first CPLD based prototype the hardware has continously been adopted to the needs of the Amiga Classic hardware platform to allow Zorro III DMA operation. The second prototype already shows some features of the final product, but still quite some efforts must be made to get rid of all small bugs and flaws.
A last preseries test card allows last minutes changes and opens - after intensive debugging - the way for the production version of the DENEB.
