Super HARDWARE for $150
ZXNet echo conference «hardware.zx»
From Andrey Romanenko → To All 30 October 2006
Hello, All
A certain SymbOS and CPC TREX were once discussed here;
http://www.symbos.de/trex.htm;
So, the opinion of the ZX public regarding the use of such a miracle is interesting
for the NEW ZX-a! :) and not just... (atari, c64, amiga comes to mind?). This question
I arose due to the fact that an even more “wild monster” appeared that did not have
~8000 gates like TREX and ~20000 despite the fact that the price is the same:

This is no longer some kind of Sprinter, this time the piece of hardware is much more powerful, it is produced
by the Chinese and officially supported by ALTERA itself.

So this is an ordinary developer board, whatever you want, collect it in it. A C64 and
everything else on the FPGA has already been assembled in the form of C-One, which is also in
The ATC case is installed and has a lot more.

IMHO, choosing any specific devborden is pointless, because... periodically
New ones will be released and old ones will be discontinued.
And if no one wanted an alternative much cheaper homemade
version of the scarf, then such a monster is not sold in the nearest bakery vryatla
who wants .

So, the “source code” of the circuit itself can also be adapted for another board and FPGA.
For example, this Amstrad has already been adapted for both Commodore-One and TREX. Or
is it very difficult?

Well, it was not an OpenSource project and therefore died without descendants... But I would have given iMak
its source codes and documents, it’s unknown how it would all end. In addition, income
The population has grown and, for example, people are buying mobile phones at this price en masse.
And what cheaper alternative could there be to such a monster?

That's what I'm talking about. There is no point in choosing any specific
devboard as the main one.
The difficulty of adaptation can only be if someone decides to use
onboard scrap like DACs/codecs/controllers, etc. .
big> Well, it was not an OpenSource project and therefore died without descendants...
No, I'm talking about something like MiniMig.
big> And what cheaper alternative could there be for such a monster?
A simple board with a matrix and brains + the necessary connectors (at least for
fifty dollars will be cheaper).
