Explain, Daniel, explain!!
Untill now, I had the idea that ACE002 was just a starting project.
But when you tell me it fits on a 15x15cm board i can't help thinking that
it already exists ...
Else how would you know that you don't need some more IC's, capacitors or
resistors for optimizing datatransfers or stuff like that?
I am a first-year electronics student and I'm getting more and more
confident in computer hardware and other electronics. But when we, students,
have to design some circuit, we try them on breadboards, because then,
modifications can easily be done. Only when the concept is right, we try
them on 'real' prints ..
Main point: can we expect ACE002 at Tilburg 2001 ???
Second point i want to have made:
You once told that Ademir is about to make a V99*8 compatible VDP using a
PLD, right?
So, i guess it should also be possible to make a Z80 compatible processor
using a PLD, right too?.
If that is possible, all Z80 opcodes should be re-implemented, to be able to
put Z80-compatible logic in the PLD, still right?
Then a clever guy should design fast Z80 opcode implementation, and Z80
should be replaced with the PLD, and voila .. a faster MSX is born .. Right?
OK, OK, OK, i didn't talk about the damned V9938 and MSX engine in a default
MSX2 wich aren't capable of running at high speeds, but VDP could be
replaced by PLD, and maybe the engine too.
Funny thing: contents of PLD's (AHDL or VHDL code) are software and could be
distributed using internet ..
Main question: Is this a dream or could it become reality ..
Grtz,
Siebe.
