SMC?
I hate sockets and try to avoid them, I've had
equipment that
didn't use the machined pin sockets and most all had to be
rebuilt sans sockets at one point or another.
In this case I plan to use good
sockets.
A lousy one if you have a raft of TTL and few FPGAs.
;)
All the TTL is in the FPGA.:)
Most of the TTL used is simple buffering or decoding.
I have a few of the Lattice and Xilinx tools, older
ones and the synario
stuff too. I just dont get all that excited about it. I've designed a
cpu and built it years ago, it out of my system and not worth repeating.
The whole point of the cpu I designed, was because I am not happy
with 8 bit micro's, RISC machines, or INTEL. Now what I wonder about
is people that put a 6502 in a FPGA while you still can buy the real
thing?
I also wonder about FPGA's when you can't fit a 6502 in one!
Any cpu I'd do would need software and that means
it would likely
be a copy of something... likely something I have.
I can guarantee you don't have a 12/24 bit cpu like mine. ( Not that you
would
want one :) )
