I have no plans to emulate the CPU. This is intended to be a board to
help debug programs and possibly some hardware issues.

Chuck,
Your point is wholly valid, although the core will run more at 1 GHz than 200
MHz.
The UniBone http://retrocmp.com/projects/unibone is a UniBus board capable of
monitoring the unibus and of emulating CPU / rotating rust / memory / ... With
the bulk of the logic in c on an Arm Processor. Jay Jaeger has just elaborated
the UniBone's essentials.

Subject: [cctalk] Re: Good C to FPGA/PLA compiler
Stupid question, I know, but someone has to ask it.
Is there some overwhelming reason that the FPGA and associated logic couldn't
be subsumed into an inexpensive 32-bit MCU running at, oh, 200 MHz? I can't
believe that a PDP8 is all that fast...
