Commander X16

I've also heard it's true. But FPGA's comes in many sizes. That's why Vera exists ... because an FPGA maker decided to put a 1Mbit RAM module into a commodity FPGA, so it could be done without requiring an FPGA with enough pins for an external Video RAM. That combination of an unusually large RAM c...

David mentioned about having several languages and compilers on the X16 itself. Would this be possible with Prog8?

Because of the limitations of using obsolete FM chips, is it possible to implement it in the VERA chip? As far as I'm aware, it's because the current FPGA they're using for the VERA hasn't got enough room. Can't remember where I heard that though. I'm not sure how much space it would take but maybe...

That's external IDE, rather then integrated IDE how I understand it.

Very excited. Congrats to everyone involved! P.S. It leaves me with a few questions: Should the GEN1 be called the "Commander X16 - Development System"? Answered here: https://youtu.be/nyByDNQuMMI?t=1375 No, that's the name of the board. I'm talking about the complete system package, with...

This makes me very excited. My favorites: The new prototype case for the X16 Dev board. Cartridges. Potential integrated C-compiler and IDE. Gen2 as a game console. Integrated updating of ROM and VERA-FPGA from SDcard. Network support. The involvement of big player software developer and competitiv...

I wonder if it will come with an IO shield...



I want a gen 1 board. But I guess I will have to wait, as I'm not a developer yet.

I don't mind the use of FPGA's and CPLD's. I see them as ASIC's. 

My first choice:<br /> The Phase-2 X16 with FM chip in a mini-itx format. Preferably a complete system assembly with the keyboard included. My Second choice:<br /> The Phase-2 X16 with FM chip in a mini-itx format, bundled with some stickers and IO shield, so that I could install it in any SFF-case...
