Cloning the DTV

I wonder how hard it would be. Given that the DTV seems to be finally attracting some quality productions, but is no longer sold at all (and even when it was sold, was a pain to convert into a "real computer"), it might be a cool project to create a little DTV on a mini-ITX type board.

The only questions I have are:
1. Is enough known about the DTV's internals to actually code the clone chips in VHDL/Verilog/whatever?

2. Would anyone buy such a creature if it were to become available?

I heard there was another kernal (afaik by a dutch guy) made. Maybe it's possible to use that as a base.


that IS fpga64 =D


Yay! We're getting somewhere ;-)

Maybe it's possible to use that as a base for a DTV clone.

sorry, but to me that sounds incredible stupid :)

using an c64 fpga to emulate another c64fpga that kinda failed in several places but got additional features instead?

Id rather LOVE to see a proper stand-alone fpga64-board.

enthusi: like i said, the fpga64 core runs on a few other boards, you can call that "standalone" if you wish :)
