Hi,
Another data point w.r.t. implementing microprocessors in FPGAs
involves the 6502: When Altera was initially rolling out their 10K
family of FPGAs, one of their marketing charts shows how they
built a 6502 processor inside a 10K50 device using only 7% of
the FPGA resources.

I did a preliminary "floor plan" for the

of the 4010 (or 75% of a 4005 given the routing issues, which leaves enough
to do an M8660 serial port.)
