If you want to do it in an FPGA (well, CPLD), let me know - I'll help!
You can get some simple cpld kits from Xilinx for $99. I'd plop some
SRAM next to one and use a JTAG compliant port to load up the memory...
A real 8 could be a interesting CPLD project, as I see two 6 bit alu
chips. a control and I/O,MMU chip. My gripe is that with the FPGA
software I use, is you need get a new (free) license every 4 months.
(and, well, you'd obviously need a bunch of LEDS
also, otherwise, what
would be the point? :-)
Don't forget the front pannel switches!
