Re: Another CCPU HDL model appears.

Hi Guys, I'm been *very* busy with company work as of late, but I do
read all Vectorlist posts.

I can assure you I'm *not* working on a model of any kind. While
Verilog and VHDL intrigue me, I've never touch any hardware modeling
tools of any kind.

I believe Ed sent me some stuff quite awhile ago, and I remember looking
at it a thinking, wow, that's cool, I can almost understand this.

My idea of a CCPU replacment board is one of those low cost ARM
development boards, with some parallel I/O, running a perfect cycle by
cycle emulation of the CCPU driving a ZVG.

In an ideal world I'd have done this by now. (If the infinite number of
parallel universes view of reality is true, then in that universe where
I won the lotto there is some really cool arcade related hardware
floating around).

The sudden flurry of interest in the CCPU, is pretty dang cool!
