Emulating old computers on FPGA

Liam Proven wrote: I've got a single-chip version of the Atari Digital Vector Generator that I cooked up for fun last year. One of these days I'll reimplement the POKEY chip in Verilog (that should be fun <grin>) and build a Eurocard-sized Asteroids clone, complete with vector output circuitry. But alas, the floppy drive reader comes first. Creating schematic symbols for 208-pin QFP parts is painful at best. I really need to order a few of the smaller (144-pin IIRC) XC95288XL gate arrays from Digikey - because there is no way in hell I'm paying RS's 3x markup *and* extortionate postage on top of that. What's really annoying is that the CPLD is the one part that's stopping me building the prototype - the logic code is done, and a good bit of the firmware. Just I don't have a CPLD that fits :-/ Thanks. -- Phil. | (\_/) This is Bunny.
