I would prefer a 68xxx based solution as I am a retro hardware fan... But a FPGA is close enough :-) What kind of price are we talking here... I know that I would buy anything that gives me faster speed than a superGoldCard and that is $300 or less. I have no interest in an emulated solution.

Hi all, So here's the state of play in designing new QL replacements... Peter Graf is bogged down with some issues on his board. It has a decent spec but it doesn't currently work in a meaningful sense. He has various obstacles (working alone) that mean his design will be delayed or not
