HP 85B FPGA

[Dave Frederickson]

Coincidentally I visited that webpage yesterday from a link in another post. That is an FPGA emulating the 85B. While the FPGA can emulate the 85B hardware and run the original ROM code, it doesn't contradict my statement that the 85B itself doesn't run on an FPGA.

So if you're getting a real 85B for Xmas, why the interest in the Verilog code for the emulator? I'm curious because I have a Spartan-3E board doing nothing and have never had an interest in recreating Oliver's emulator.
