Hi all

the following quote got me thinking
If we could get hold of a Verilog or VHDL definition of the T425 and/or
T805 then we could make our own, with a sufficiently large FPGA. There
are a number of FPGA implemented processors (6502 and Z80 are dead easy
to do, apparently) and the rate at which FPGAs are getting bigger,
enough gates to do a transputer shouldnt be far away, even if they arnt
big enough now.

is there a vhdl definition I know there is an emulator written in C
if we used an FPGA won't the new one's run faster then the transputers
anyway!
somebody has mention to me that the oxford group are using a transputer
to program
FPGA with a C compiler of sorts!
could we not convert the emulator written in C to this C variant the
oxford group are using?
and have ourselves a new transputer?
