Cool! Describe?
See: CPLD design. This current design is CPLD/2901 bitslice design.
The ALU is 12 bits, double clocked to give a 24 bit CPU on a 6800/6502
style memory cycle.One CPLD is for high speed decoding and the other
for the MAR and MBR data paths. A 8 bit refresh counter is for
DRAM's. A 2.5 MHZ (top speed)clock gives a 800 ns memory cycle. 3
2901's make
up the data path.
That sounds like fun.
Had you ever thought about making boards for these to sell to
people? I'd want a couple, I'll bet some other people would buy them
too...they sound like fun to hack on.
