Somebody asked me:"Why bother with FPGA? Why don't you just use an emulator at that point?"My view on modern #retrocomputing:* Hardware will fail. If we are to preserve long-term, both emulation and gate level simulation are critical.* FPGAs can implement things that are hard to implement in software, and vice versa. * Improvements in one will positively affect the other.---I do not disrespect the nostalgia, but I have an unusual perspective on #retrocomputing:I never stopped using any of this stuff, so for me, it's a continuum. I used all this stuff yesterday, I use it today, and I will use it tomorrow.
