Yes. More than one in fact. I have added pictures of the new card with a bigger FPGA to the bottom of my web page

The VGA card became a reality. Just cut out a portion of my FPGApple and synchronized the clock with that on the Apple bus. I didn't even bother to take any screenshots as they are identical to the old ones.

The logic inside the FPGA duplicates all the Apple's video circuits including the soft switches for the video modes. Everything written to Apple's memory is also written to the card memory and scanned at twice the standard rate. Looks spectacular on an analog VGA monitor. Takes about 3% of the logic inside the FPGA.

This is awesome, Alex, but what about those who are of lesser programming abilities? Will there be a place for developers to upload their updates, upgrades, and additions? Mine available. P.S., whatever happened to my PseudoDisk? Have been trying to contact you for quite some time. Thanks.
