We have the opportunity for another Carte Blanche II run. Would anyone be interested?

This time it would be just the board only (exactly the same version as last time), and the target price would be around US$195 plus shipping.

Anyway, it would be great to hear what you think.

Cheers,
Steve

I would be on board for one. I would like to have some of your already designed expansion boards/connectors :-)

@Jorge: http://www.applelogic.org/CarteBlancheII.html

I read somewhere that it's open source, but I can't seem to find the schematics... was interested in seeing what it's using for 5/3.3v level translation and bus tri-state control.

Board seems pretty tight, I wonder if they do the soldering themselves.

It's a XILINX 400AN FPGA (XC3S400AN-4FG400C) on an Apple ][ Card with a
48 Pin ZIF and additional Hardware including VGA and HDMI...

<http://www.applelogic.org/CarteBlancheII.html>


There are Seven Pages of projects that you can Download and Install on it:
<http://www.applelogic.org/CarteBlancheIIProj1.html>


The FPGA can be "programed" to "mimic" various kinds of Hardware like
the Mocking Board or the Z80 on a Micro-Soft Soft Card.

We're building a list of those wishing to reserve a board in the next run, and will let you know when we're ready to move forwards with it. We haven't got a fixed time frame yet, but expect we will get going in the next couple of weeks.

Yes; When you say Board only is that with the FPGA or board as in bare board?
