The Apple Lisa Inside an FPGA!

[joevt]

Do you have a reference for the Z8530 implementation? I know of a VHDL one in the Suska project (which I've successfully used to emulate the SCC used in a Sun-3), but it's interesting to have an alternate implementation, in particular in Verilog. But I can't find the original and the file itself doesn't include a license.

What Z8530 implementation are you referring to? The first post has a picture showing an AMD Z8530 outside of the FPGA.

What Z8530 implementation are you referring to? The first post has a picture showing an AMD Z8530 outside of the FPGA.

Pictures lie Quoting the GitHub readme:

Rev. 3 of the board also contains a socket for a real 8530 SCC chip for controlling the serial ports. This is because a SystemVerilog SCC core didn't exist at the time at which the board was designed. But one exists now, so the socket is empty on Rev. 3 boards and nonexistent on subsequent revisions!

The implementation is here.
