ARM Card for A2?

[regnirps@aol.com (Regnirps)]

So, how many folks are still seriously using their A2s? How would you like an
ARM slot card to play with? There is a GNU C compiler, an assembler, Forth, and
maybe a port of Mops, the coolest object oriented system I have ever seen.

I/O with the keyboard can be done either by calling the ROM routines in
emulation or by communicating with the native procesor. Graphics is the main
bottleneck, but I can add a SVGA connector and IDE hard drive connector to the
card. I would use the 40 MHz ARM 7500, which has all this built in.

It wouldnt take all that many to make it worth while and I have wanted to do
this for years and years. The 7500 has DRAM drivers built in so one $40 simm
gets you 32 Meg of RAM.
