Yet another FPGA ZX Spectrum clone ;)

ZX Spectrum compatible machine with a soft CPU, FDD and HDD (CF card) controllers, PS/2 keyboard/mouse, ESP8266 UART, RTC, VGA output and all logic inside the Altera FPGAEP4CE10.

The idea was to make a smaller Profi (Профи) ZX Spectrum clone, with real FDD and HDD controllers. The board size fits the dimensions of the real 3.5" floppy drive.

The main firmware is finished and currently it implements:

1. ZX Spectrum classic and profi hi-res hi-color mode (with palette) (512x240)
2. ZX Profi CMR ports for extended peripherial
3. FDD controller that works both in CP/M and classic modes
4. HDD controller (works in Profi CP/M mode and PQ-DOS mode)
5. PS/2 keyboard (XT keyboard emulation)
6. PS/2 mouse (kempston mouse and serial MS mouse emulation)
7. VGA output (requires a monitor with 50Hz support)
8. Turbosound (2 x AY-3-8912), Soundrive and SAA1099 (SAA will work only on EP4CE10 due to lack of free LEs in EP4CE6)
9. Kempston joystick support
10. SEGA joystick support
11. RTC (profi), emulated read/write support
12. SD card access via Z-Controller emulation as well as DivMMC
13. Turbo 7 MHz (nowait) and Turbo 14 Mhz (with wait cycles)
14. ZX UNO simple UART @115200 for ESP8266 module, ZiFi API support (a secondary ZX UNO UART available on uBus connector for EP4CE10)
15. An additional ROM bank withPQ-DOS BIOS
16. An additional ROM bank withFlash Tool byDoctor Max to upgrade the FGPA firmware and ROM banks without programmer
17. An additional ROM bank withFDImage Tool byDoctor Max to extract TRD, SCL, PRO, TD0 and FDI images on real floppies
18. OSD menu
19. OSD full-screen overlay with easy-to-change options, RTC setup, etc.
