Get writing that PDP 10 emulator for LISP :)

Well the FPGA's have the advantage of a small
box, for a gaming box
that needs a few buttons, joystick and TV.
Yes, and you can control the floppy insert/eject operations all from the
joystick rather than needing a computer console etc...
Get them now before VIRTUAL 3D hits the market.
Are you talking about folks taking tile based 2D games and running
algorithms to 3D-ize them into "new games" ? I'm wondering why you
connect this and the MiST ? Just curious. I am picking
up a Oberon FPGA setup to see what a real OS is like. Ben.
Nice! I never even thought about someone setting up an FPGA to do that.
The same would be cool for old LISP machines or a Thinking Machines
emulator. That'd be really interesting. -Swift
I suspect the Oberon FPGA card would make a nice small PDP 10 emulator
as you get a network i/o device.
