emulating an Apple II+ in an FPGA

While I'm on my podium, one more quick thing: (I know this isn't your word perse, so I'm not picking on you Brian) but I think the word "emulate" is really walking a thin line when we talk about this stuff. The minimig, for instance, is really an Amiga clone. It doesn't "emulate" a processor -- it either has a physical hardware processor or a processor core in the FPGA. The hardware actually exists physically. The custom chips logic is physically instantiated and temporarily created within the FPGA. All this stuff is sort of "better than", or one step above, emulation. Here's the best part: let's say you don't like how the original amiga bus worked. You can take the existing design, and reimplement an entirely new bus, reconnect the various logic to the new bus, and off you go. What's amazing is that you are simply modifying code to make all this happen. Never touched a PCB design tool, wire wrap tool, wires on a breadboard, etc. Best yet, say you don't even have (any) hardware in front of you -- you can simulate your newly designed creation and look at logic waveforms to test your creation. Does it do what you intended? Is the timing right? Amazing stuff here. Keith
