<\/a>Phil Ruston's V6Z80P<\/p><\/div>\n
The main logic for the system is contained inside the FPGA, and this provides a flexible graphics display (Planar graphics, Bitmap graphics, Tilemap graphics, Sprites, Raster-based line co-processor, 4-channel Wave Audio, Maths Assist library, Line drawing assist module and more) and because it’s stored on an FPGA, it’s reconfigurable.<\/p>\n
The default configuration was incarnated as “OSCA” – The “Old School Computer Architecture”, and although it can run any code the user wishes, a powerful operating system is also provided called “FLOS” – “Freezer-Like Operating System”, so named because its operation is not unlike that offered by Action Replay cartridges of yore, albeit with added file and directory management support.<\/p>\n
An alternative configuration offers a ZX-Spectrum compatibility mode for the machine allowing it to run existing ZX Spectrum software unmodified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The V6Z80P is (as its name might suggest) the 6th incarnation of Phil Ruston’s homebrew computer system based around the Zilog Z80 microprocessor. The system itself is constructed on a small high-quality PCB that comprises of the CPU itself, A Spartan-II FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) which contains the design for the main support hardware […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":37,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/39"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/39\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54,"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/39\/revisions\/54"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.basoft.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
