What have you done, with microprogramming this part? In your architecture, have you
changed the microcode, create an instruction to enhance your machine?
I would be interested in any hardware projects, stories (or even in the FPGA, I hear its
a popular thing to copy);
I read all of Donnamaies pages, and planing to hook up, breadboard the eval kit, perhaps
reproduce the PCB if you guys are interested.
What about the coding tools? ADASM? Looks long gone, how do you do microcode today?
If I forget the soldering iron, can anyone show me an example on a Xilinx board, ISE,
Vivado that uses the original AMD 2900 architecture?

..but this is CP/M Software and there are other opensource
Metaassemblers out there that don't need a amulated CP/M.
Since some years I'm collecting chips and software around the AM2901 and
wanted to build something out of them..never had enough time.
I'm interesetd in a demo board.
The copyright Status of the Assembler is unclear, that's the cause for
not replaying to cctalk.

Holm
