@TobiFlex:
If you make a daughterboard with a m68k cpu. You could compare the timing with the HDL "software" cpu.

@motorollin:
It's someone doing what I thought about from the beginning. Implement Minimig with a standard FPGA developer board. That will eliminate the whole manufacturing deal.

A DE-2 board is a FPGA developer board from Altera. Which doesn't provide any Linux version of their Place & Route software as Xilinx & Actel does.

CPU and PIC can be implemented with a HDL computer language. Eliminating the need for actual physical hardware.
