FPGA on a zorro card?

[AJCopland]

Probably. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be possible as Zorro is just a bus.

There are FPGA pci cards and an FPGA PCI VGA card out there.

The real question would be what would you use it for?

I'd say yes, simply because if you can fit an entire computer into a 400k gate FPGA then why not a decoder? I keep finding references to FPGA implementations of MP3 decoders via google as well but I can't find actual sources or anything :crazy:

There'd be potential other uses that would be neat, such as crypto hacking etc but perhaps more interesting uses would be: low-end physics hardware, video processing/encoding/decoding, sound effect processing, chipset extensions (like a gfx card).

I mean there are things you could do with it. Just from a cool point of view but I wonder if theres anything that people would actually find useful.

So yes you can add an FPGA on Zorro to your Amiga.

See now thats immediately a much better answer than the ones I gave :-D
