Hi there ...
-- Original Message --
One of the 'toys' I recently purchased is an
eval board with the Xilinx
Spartan II 200K gate FPGA on it. My plans for this are classic computer
emulation. (there is already a PDP-8 VHDL description floating around and
Do you know the link ??????
I always wanted to do that !!!! Excellent Idea....
I'm looking at doing one for the PDP-5, PDP-11, and
PDP-12). But this board
includes bits that let you drive a VGA display with it if you choose and
it
has PS/2 ports etc that you can also use. So I figured wouldn't it be cool
to actually try doing "new" Atari 2600 hardware or something like that?
It
should be pretty easy to design a PONG equivalent game, the original was
all TTL gates anyway. All I need it another hobby I don't have time for
but
it helps motivate me to learn the tools if I've got a project to work on.

Definitely its a wonderful hobby .... :-)
