Apresentando o PicoZ80: um substituto moderno do Z80 para retrocomputadores. - Retrópolis

Este aí em cima é o título de um artigo publicado no X (sim, eu também não sabia que era possível publicar artigos longos naquele poço fétido de preconceitos e escória) onde o autor descreve este projeto assaz interessante para todos nós que amamos essas máquinas clássicas. O PicoZ80 é, segundo o autor, "um substituto

Almost back to the beginning! Breadboarding the new Steckschwein "core" based on an ATF1508.
Hope the CPLD has enough space for everything we want to cram in there.
At least hardware based SPI needs to fit. And a vectorizing interrupt controller.

I wonder if anybody has a native Linux version of POF2JED floating around?

CPLD Upgrade and new Toolchain - Steckschwein

Suspiciuously cheap ATF1508 from eBay have arrived. And they indeed _are_ ATF1508, and they work (at least the one I tried does).

Who would have thought?

People doing #Electronics here, I am still searching for a substitute for the LCMXO256C #CPLD. Up to 2019, you could buy these below 2€ a piece on Digikey. They have 256 cells and 78 IO pins, making them quite interesting for that price range. During the pandemic their price raised wildly and now they are 10€ a piece, so I have been searching for a cheaper alternative without success. Any recommendations?
