@TobiFlex

Is your fpga 680x0 using a barrel shifter for shifts and rotates?

@Belial

Just so you know: from what I can tell, the DE1 needs some add-ons, so the cost will be more than $150.00.  So don't be shocked when the final cost comes in. Good luck. :-)

Also what benefits does 68060 have over 68020 that really makes a practical difference from a functional view?, as the ballgame becomes different when you can do things in HDL.


68060 has 8k data cache
68020 has 0k data cache

68060 has 8k instruction cache
68020 has 0.25k instruction cache

68060 can execute 2 instructions simultaneously (3 if you count predicted branches)
68020 can execute only 1 instruction at a time

68060 has many floating point instructions
68020 has no floating point instructions

I am waiting for the DE-A version with a proper Analog VGA port on it.

Why Z80 instead of 6502?

@MiniMorph

The Altera DE-2 has a built-in Ethernet port and an AGA-compatible VGA port.
