Working with a Spartan 3A FPGA board right now, and I've finally got some visible progress. I've never been so happy to see a Sad Mac!

A boot failure may not seem exciting, but I'm thrilled that it's actually doing something recognizably Macintosh-like. That means I'm actually running 68000 code from the Mac ROM, which is drawing stuff to the screen buffer, which is getting displayed to the screen. From here it will be a long, slow road of implementing replacements for the VIA, SCC, IWM, and other components.
