The CIAgent

The Complex Interface Agent for your simple emulation needs. :-)

A CIA hardware and resources emulator.


The backstory.

It is the time of AmigaOS4. A new world has beckoned upon us, bringing in new
hopes for the future, and old truths from the past. While in this new world,
things are to be gained, but also it demonstrates the things that have been
lost. Here the AmigaOne was born from the ashes of the old Amiga platform to
rekindle the dream, but out of that re-creation much of the original Amiga
hardware had been lost, to be replaced with more suitable hardware for the
modern climate. Whilst the software layer that is AmigaOS4 supports a basic
emulation of this hardware to bring us more compatibility with programs from
the old school, what remained lost was the CIA chips, and the OS resource
that was used to arbitrate access to these chips. So, that left some programs
to just try and get by which some could do well, and some others just
couldn't cope being by themselves this way and so would fall by the wayside.
They remained there, helpless, left in confusion from a world they didn't
understand. Nor did it seem to care...

Until now. To alleviate this situation, a special software taskforce was set
up, to ease these programs into the new millennium and give an inside view of
what they are doing. Therefore, you're mission; should you decide to accept
it, is to become a CIAgent. A simulated CIA Resource and CIA memory map will
be installed into the system, allowing you to view through the special spy
monitor window, any access to the CIA's through the usual OS resources or
direct hardware access. Here you will be able to monitor every move, but also
interact with it as well, by issuing a small set of special commands to
control the process. It is here that the large gap between the Amiga and the
AmigaOne is brought closer, by building a bridge from the old to the new.
Building on the foundations of the Amiga heritage, set ages
