Yeah, this was kinda the conclusion I came to after coding up the FPGA.
I asked myself "How is this different / better than simply running
VirtualT on an embedded board?".

Probably... I have run the AltairDuino 8800 emulator on a Pi, and it runs
the virtual 8080 CPU at almost 88MHz.

The DE-10 Nano also has an ARM CPU which handles I/O and provides a nice
interface for USB and (I think) the HDMI frame buffer. This should save a
lot of effort when it comes to I/O mapping, since the ARM software can
handle the keyboard and storage interface (for backing up RAM in between
The MiSTer is based on the Terasic DE-10 nano, which is based on a Cyclone
5. The board has 1GB of DDR3 RAM, but most MiSTers are build with an add-on
board containing 32 or 128 (or more) MB of SDRAM so you don't have to deal
with DDR.

I have most of one. It has been quite some time since I worked on it,
but I had it running a modified version of the M100 ROM.
It was working on an Actel FPGA at the time sometime in the 2009 - 2010
timeframe, but I believe that FPGA is now obsolete. But it is mostly
just Verilog / VHDL

I know this is a crazy random question.
Not sure if anyone here has an FPGA programming knowledge and who could make a
core or know someone who could make a core for the 100/102 for the MiSTer
project. Would be a really awesome option to have an FPGA version of the 100.

Tom,
Link please to the ESP32 terminal device!

Thanks, Steve. I have been using my own terminal program with my Altair
emulators for a long time, and it's always nice to find new uses. I've also

Yes, I made work what I could, and created new where i had to.
It should work with a VT100 for general use. The extras are really m100
specific.
Interested in your feedback.

So, you just added T, U, V, W, M, and L and mapped the other T100 codes to
VT-100 codes?
I suppose I should just download your T100 wedge so I can try it myself.

So they are all standard VT100 codes? That’s good to know. I know a couple
of guys who produce GeoffG terminal boards for an Altair clone, and I may
have a more ready supply than the Tindie guy.
So I *may* be able to get a supply of kits and have the PICs programmed
with the additional VT100
escape code table is on the VT100 page above

For fun, I tweaked the classic STARTREK.BAS to run on M100 with external 80
column CRT.
You can get it here:

It should probably work in DVI too for that matter.

I've documented the information around using the BCR port as a half duplex
TTL serial port. The solution for M100 is to solder in a single wire on
the backside of the PCB. I expect a similar solution exists for T102 and
other
