Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA - talk at VCF SW (opens in new tab)

An interesting talk here from Alex Anderson-McLeod, the ups and downs of developing an FPGA model (and a custom PCB) to create an open source Lisa - which can run at stock speed or at 75MHz. We learn about FPGA developments and about the Lisa implementation (which includes both the 68000 and a 6504 core). Quite a few steps within involve reverse engineering software or firmware to find out what’s happening. The project is mostly there but there are some things still to do. From the descriptio...
