JC >>I just have a question: What's an Akiko?<< It is a custom chip found in the CD32. I believe it replaces the two CIA chips, and preforms chunky-bit to bitplane conversions for software. This would allow programs use to programming IBM chunky-bit graphics to still do so, and the Akiko will convert the chunky-bits into bitplane for the hardware's use. Ron. – ap'ing with AP.

It also has CD-ROM controller stuff and other glue for the CD32 board. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing
