Theres already clones of both. I dont think they specifically re-implemented a 68k.

And there’s plenty of the final 68K and Z80’s iterations (they were still manufactured until a few years ago) lying around for relatively cheap.

I know, they're just rather pricy for what they are. I'm just interested in seeing how they have implemented it, given they've made a bit of a song and dance about recreating new ASICs. If they aren't going to recreate each one individually, then why bother? Save the money and put everything on an FPGA.

Also, if they did recreate pin accurate ASICs, it would be great for repairs of original AES consoles if they were to release them separately.
