Thank you I have to admit that there is a problem with those red tall cpu sockets on the QL boards and at least I have to find longer pins than those I'm using for the ula socket. If I see that this doesn't work well, I'll reconsider the expansion port but new pcb from the begining and new tests .....

Re: FPGA replacment for the ZX8301 ULA and more

Hi,
what you are creating is just... AMAZING! :)
It is growing up farther than expected. Thus I wonder, will you do a synthesized version with just the ZX8301 ULA replacement?

Thank you for everything
