reDIP CIA MOS 8520 has been tested with a Amiga 500, Commodore 1581 Floppy Drive, BackBit Chip Tester Pro, Amiga Test Kit, VATest Program and has scored a perfect 100% passing mark.

The reDIP CIA is an open source FPGA board created by: Dag Lem, a prominent coder in the Retro Commodore Community who's work is also featured in VICE 64 emulator.  This chip combines the following in a DIP-40 Package.

• Lattice iCE5LP1K-FPGA
• 1 Mbit FLASH
  
• 5v tolerant I/O
• Low Power Consumption
  

The reDIP CIA Provides an Open Source hardware platform for MOS 8520 CIA Replacements. 

• The board is fully pin compatible with the venerable MOS 8520
• Cycle Accurate emulation of the MOS 8520 has been implemented with very accurate TOD 
• Gateware implementation made possible by Frank "androSID" Wolf and Dieter "ttlworks" Müller
