If you have a DE1 board (it is $150) and want to play with this soft Apple, let me know and I'll provide some instructions.Very cool....... Any plans on porting it to Spartan3?
The original FPGApple was written for a (Digilent) Spartan3 board. However that board doesn't have either FLASH memory or an MMC/SD connector. So to play with it one needs extra hardware. For example I have a CF connector so that ProDOS volumes can be read/written. NIB images need to be uploaded into SRAM using a USB interface that is also extra hardware.
This is the main reason for a port to a platform that has it all. -Alex.
