What a journey. In a world where FPGAs are our ultimate safety net for preservation, it’s remarkable what can still be sourced for a build like this.

An FPGA isn't much more interesting than an emulator for preservation.

> We're in the last period of the golden age of electronics, as the world has moved to SMD and extremely-high-integration, the stores of cool stuff that we can play around with are being depleated, but let's make the most out of it while it lasts!

This makes me sad. Mostly because I thought it was already over, but the author is right and now I have to experience the end of the golden once more.

Overall though, what a wonderful project. Makes me want to take out my C64 and do some assembly in Turbo Macro Pro.
