I realize it's not an FPGA, but even in 1986 the entire Apple II was already available on a single ASIC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_II https://en.wikip

Can get a Sipeed Tang Nano 20K FPGA Development Board from AliExpress for $7.05. I don't know the first thing about working with FPGAs, but this seems like something worth learning someday.

- musicale 3mo agoFPGAs are great - it's like writing software to create hardware, magically and on demand. I wish it were easier to get started with them - the toolchains are usually designed for professional engineers rather than beginners, and the debugging experience is poor vs. any typical software IDE like VSCode or IntelliJ (even though Vivado seems to be based on Eclipse or something.) But don't let that discourage you - working with FPGAs is incredibly fun once you get over the initial learning curve, and there are many resources available on youtube etc.
