Could Atari 8-Bit Core be Implemented in Mist FPGA?

I am kind of drooling over the Mist project available at Lotharek... very interesting stuff.

 

http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=96

 

If the Mist can recreate the ST/Amiga, could it be used to create an "uber-XL" machine? Does anyone know if this is feasible? Is anyone working on it?

 

I would buy one in a heartbeat if it had decent compatibility.

I'll be releasing source from my FPGA impl in the next month, so you are free to port to Mist. See the 'Potential New Hardware' thread.

 

Boards:

DE1 - available

Sockit - I'll port to this - my board is being shipped

Replay - I'll port to this. MikeJ said he'd send me one 'next week' a while back, though gather he got caught up with a trip to China...

Mist - Wasn't planning on it - but if someone wants to donate me a board... ;)

That is very generous of you! I'm sure the Atari community will benefit from this for some time.

Wow. I wanted to talk to lotharek about support you on SillyVenture 2013, but I didn't (shame)... I really keep thumbs up all the time to (u)se(e) Atari 8-bit platform running on mist. I have noticed that mist board firmware prepares to this... maybe too wide meaning ("8-bit mode"), but it's almost there...

 

There is a ttl-serial header inside, maybe SIO could be put out of the case to connect REAL floppy drive ...

hahhahaha...

 

i was thinking about XL/XE clone ;-)

 

 

my ideas to make a perfect solution:

 

- 1088 ram is a must

- covox

- dual pokey

- switchable OS rom 16kb

- cart rom emulation

- vbxe....

 

my dream came true ! i`m so happy

1088 ram - trivial

covox - trivial

dual pokey - already present

switchable os rom - already present (but should be able to have a folder with n roms...)

cart rom emulation - planned

vbxe - fine by me, but ask VBXE devs - it's already hdl I think, so doesn't make sense to reimplement...
