Not sure what you mean. In case you are thinking about rewriting QL software so it avoids misimplemented CPU instructions, that would require knowing all CPU instructions which are still affected. I can't tell yet, otherwise I would probably have fixed them. In case you are thinking about hiring someone to design a better CPU, I'm not sure if software developers are the ones to ask. This is not software, it's hardware design. I'm sure folks like Daniele, Richard and Marcel know a lot about 68K instructions, but it seems unlikely one of them would also like to learn chip design. Many people misinterpret the fact that the logic cells and connections within an FPGA can be reprogrammed. They think some emulation would take place. But there are real logic cells and real wires just like in a fixed 68K IC. The integrated circuit design process has very little in common with writing software.
