I needed some more horsepower for my FPGA compiles, and because it’s been so long since my last PC build, I decided to take advantage of some free time I had, and build a new machine.
This machine is a quad-core i7 build with 32GB of DDR3 and (2) 240GB SSDs.
I want to put together a softcore 68K computer system, just something simple.
I’ve purchased, but not yet received, the Terasic Cyclone V GX Starter Kit, an Altera FPGA eval board.
I just wanted to mention that I’m a backer on this kickstarter, and I just wanted to get the word out.
Over the last week, I migrated this blog to a new hosting provider. GoDaddy was such a pig and the site just ran like molasses when hosted by them. I couldn’t be happier with the switch that I’ve made, but I could very well have broke something that I haven’t realized yet. If there were resources that you were using but are no longer available, please leave a comment, and I’ll fix them up.
Thanks
I recently bought a TL866A from ebay with a bunch of adapters for a little under $100 shipped. Seems like a decent programmer except for the fact that it doesn’t support the 27C200/27C400 mask ROMs that hold Kickstart. Some alternatives floating around seemed to indicate that the 27C240 was pretty close, but the pinout was different.
I created an adapter to convert the pinouts.

A couple years ago I posted some information on how to convert a Rigol CSV to an OLS File.
I recently got a request for some more information.
So let’s look at the two files
