Hi, today TobiFlex released his new turbo core for the CPC TREX. http://www.symbos.de/trex.htm The CPC TREX is a complete FPGA-based implementation of the classic computer Amstrad CPC on a Terasic T-REX C1 board ( http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=39&No=14&Revision=018&PartNo=1 ). The great thing is, that TobiFlex also released the complete source code as a Quartus Snapshot! The core includes his new Z80 implementation which is much smaller, faster and more compatible than the previous OpenCore T80. So everyone, how is searching for a better Z80 core, should have a look on it. If you switch the CPC TREX into Turbo Mode you will have a system with 24MHz power! This is really a little bit crazy fast. The update also contains a new start-up system. The Starter-SymbOS is included directly in the flash file and doesn't need to be loaded with the 6502-based big boot from CF card any more. That means, booting the TREX is much faster now. The Starter-SymbOS is the "risc-version" of the brand new Release 1.0. Please download the update and the TREX turbo core source code here: http://www.symbos.de/trex.htm#marke3 CU, Prodatron
