February 2026 (Fire Horse Year)

Dear patrons,

My apologies for the lack of news on my end, I have been mostly in catch-up mode since the split in November 2025. One one hand, I am trying to complete the design of the A2560Me and on the other, update/upgrade the Gen 1 cores to offer more features and to unified the code base.
After that, it leaves me very little time to do other things but I am trying to manage to create a brand new website that will reflect the new vision for the future. (Remember, I am still just 1 person)

So, I hope to be able to put up the new website and relaunch the product line before Easter and by that time being able to ship complete finished products, at least on the retro side of things. As for Ed Tech, it might take a bit more time since there is more to provide to satyisfy a broader audience.
So, if you are waiting for your A2560Me product, don’t worry it will be coming sooner than later and as I mentioned above, the waiting will have been worth it since you will receive a product that will stable and complete (as one product can be, before it needs to be improved again). 

Anyway,
Thank you for your understanding,

Stefany

In the future, my goal is to provide a foundation for hobbyist interested in working with 32bits CPU like the MC68L060 and potentially something more actual like a RISC V. On one hand, I’d like to offer solutions that will still reflect the needs of the retro community and on the other, slowly I will be moving towards tailoring my solutions for the Ed Tech industry. I hope you will join me in this new adventure!

IMPORTANT – Nov 11th, 2025

As of Nov 1st 2025, Foenix Retro Systems has sold the assets of the F256x family to the company Wildbits Computing Company based in USA. Wildbits has taken over the old FRS Discord Server and Foenix Retro Systems has been transforming into Foenix Labs (a Discord Server exists for it) but soon will post a invite link if you want to join in.

In the weeks to come, the Foenix Labs website will be done and I will be slowly porting over to it. The Foenix Retro System will remain open for probably the next 6 months so people can have access to their accounts.

If you have any questions, I suggest that you go over the Wildbits Website and get on their Discord Server where if needed you can use the Foenix Labs invite on their to reach me or you can simply inquire about the situation there. Now, if you have put your name on the mailing list for any F256x products, that email list will be forwarded to Aleksey (the owner) which in time will communicate with you to let you know about when the products will be available again. In the short term I believe the K2 will be sold as is (aside of the branding marking).

Finally, by the 31st of January 2026 the full transfer of knowledge and/or else will be completed. If you have any question, please ask @ stef (at) c256foenix.com
