I was wondering if it was possible to build an REU that would go into the memory slot of an A500.
It could have an 8 meg ram and work like an the C64 version.
It would also need to use some chip ram to work.


Yes, you would need ram and a dma controller.

If you did it in a reasonably large fpga you could have it do something funky like decompress video and convert it to ham and then dma it into chip ram to be displayed.

The cpu would likely get starved though.
