Acronym?

[edit]

So, what does AMY stand for?--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 19:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections

[edit]

ATG was an Apple thing. Amy was developed at ASRL (Atari Sunnyvale Research Laboratory).

Amy and Saunders's Rainbow were to be components of the Sierra computer, which was to contain an Intel processor, not dual 68000s. Rainbow was a chipset, not a single chip. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.113.244 (talk) 04:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Modern project inspired by the AMY chip

[edit]

There is a modern project inspired by the AMY chip. There is a pure software emulation with some enhancements to the algorithms (https://github.com/shorepine/amy), a distributed speaker system called Alles (https://github.com/shorepine/alles), and a full-fledged small computer called the Tulip Creative Computer (https://github.com/shorepine/tulipcc). All are quite active open source projects. I think these projects deserve a mention on the AMY page, or perhaps a page of their own. M.
