Blimey!. How many equivalent gates is this FPGA, then? I am amazed it has
space for a CPU, 16K of 'ROM', a few K of buffer RAM, etc.
I don't think you could fit all the logic to
implement CS/80 or Amigo
protocol in any sensible FPGA. I think it can be done in a modern
microcontroller.
I can fit it in, for development. I made some FPGA board for myself, simply because I think they are more flexible.
They are. But that doesn;t make them the right solution to every
problem.I still feel a microcontroller is more sensible for this application.
