FPGA on a zorro card?
« on: March 18, 2008, 12:54:15 PM »
Hi,

I was wondering if a generic FPGA core could be implemented on a zorro card? We could then have practically anything running on them and use the rest of the system for display, input, etc?

I was thinking for example a C64 emulator, running on WB, without any 68k usage, or maybe some side-utilities?

I'm not familiar with the general FPGA side of the world, dont really know if it is do-able, or makes any sense at all, but I had to ask  :-)
Anyway is the only way

Dont know, I'm not sure of the practical uses myself, but I'm sure we could come up with some if we try  :-)

What about mp3 decoding? Is there enough power?
Anyway is the only way

Yeap, I know about the natami. Thing is, would anyone consider building a few of those?  :-D

And then of course, it would be another task finding or writing some cores to make them actually do something...
