Re: Modern A2 successor

I knew you were just joking. The comments were entirely too sarchastic to be
taken seriously. I havent posted in this thread as of late because I was
looking into FPGA's to use for the core of the processor. Based on the spec
I got from Turley and the currently available FPGA chips, I think I want to
go with Quick Logic's pASIC3 100 pin package. That'll allow me to use a full
32bit address bus and a separate 32bit data bus. It *should* have the
capacity to handle being a modified 65832. The most expensive part about
this project will be buying the FPGA programming utilities. The chips
themselves go for less than $20 each.

As for the ROM? I won't need Apple's ROM if I make my own and make it
compatible with the original. If I could secure the rights to the original
ROM then I'd use it and extend it, but since that isn't likely...
