No, they have released a number of designs before - including the "Unleashed" [1] and "Hi Five" [2] which are both SoC designs as well. The Unleashed had an optional FPGA add-on, but it was not part of the main CPU. My r

FWIW, I've seen people modify their boards with Noctua 40mm fans, and 3D-printed adapters. They should have used a larger heatsink with the ability to mount a standard (and quieter) fan

That is probably true. Perhaps I should have said "If you are able to patch the machine code in a program object, you probably have full access to the system anyway".

It’s worth pointing out that Madoff’s AS/400 ran System/36 RPG II and OCL code in compatibility mode, which made it somewhat more difficult to understand than regular OS/400 code. Nonetheless, a consultant was hired to make s
