CPC TREX, a hardware Amstrad CPC "emulator"


The CPC TREX consists of the TOBIFLEX Amstrad CPC turbo core and the reconfigurable T-REX C1 board by TerasIC, which is based on the Cyclone FPGA by Altera. This is NOT one more CPC emulator but something like a real hardware CPC rebuilded with FPGA technology, which also includes some totaly new features and possibilities. The TREX C1 board is very small, an industrial production and it contains connectors to all the standard PC periphery like VGA monitors, PS/2 input devices and CF cards.

The T-REX already includes the whole functionality of the SYMBiFACE II extension card (with the exception of the RTC). It also includes a 12MHz Z80 Turbo Mode.
