Studio 8502 Dec 15, 2023

It is legitimately bugging me that I seem to be the only person who wants to be able to buy an ARM or RISC-V or MIPS or SPARC CPU, implemented with an inexpensive FPGA, with a standard parallel memory bus.

I feel stupid for wanting to be able to take such a thing, stick two or four 8/16 bit wide SRAMS and ROMs on it, and have a play like it was Real Hardware™.

@mos_8502 Isn't it hard nowadays to get an SRAM card?

@tocisz SRAM chips are available at Mouser and Digi-Key.

@mos_8502 Ah, yes. That's for sure. But I was thinking is there some standard of static RAM cards? As SDRAM cards for dynamic RAM. They are easily available, ready to plug in and use.

I think not, but maybe I'm just not aware of it.
