New year. New direction.

Hello again (and Happy New year to all! :-)

Over the holiday break, I've been pondering what I could do to possibly revive this stalled project of mine..

So, given I cannot obtain the parts I need for my current design I have therefore decided to look at redesigning my Ohm board using an FPGA from another manufacturer..

Okay, we'll see what I can come up with now. Suggestions are also welcome! ;-)

Cheers, Valentin

Any decision on which direction you are going?

Hello! Sorry I have been MIA mainly due to non-hobby matters. I hope to post another update in the next few days.

Hi,

I think that the Altera MAX10 would be a perfect core. Its low power features would allow a battery powered usage of this wonderful board.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hi elpekos! Sorry about the delay in my reply. Thankyou for the kind word. Max10 is indeed an option worth looking into. I've used low power FPGAs before (MachXO2) and I am now tempted by faster and more capable silicon.. :-)

Are you sure? yes | no

Hopefully a new part source will work out. The Ohm/Ohm+ looks cool. I like the portability of the tiny board. It looks like something I could easily break out on a rainy day for some lunch break gaming action. I'd buy one. :)

I want to try and make a Trs-80 Model 1 work on one of these too. It seems like it should fit if an Amiga 500 can fit.

Are you sure? yes | no

Hello Brett! Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for your positive and encouraging words. I am hopeful that some good will yet come out of this project.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ohm/Ohm+ project retirement
