Carrier board for EP2 FPGA card - Probably the best way to do Retrocomputing with Multicomp

This is a PCB only no other parts. You will have to source the other parts to build this card. The parts are available on Mouser or Digikey. The FPGA card can be found on AliExpress and the other us…

What is it?

A card which receives an Altera EP2C5 card (matching Grant Searle's design files) and provides connections to VGA, PS/2, USB-Serial port, SD Card, 512 KB of SRAM.

Why did you make it?

I love Grant Searle's Multicomp project. It lets you create 6502, Z80, 6809 Retrocomputers of the late 1970s era. This card provides all of the connections needed.

Grant's original design used an EP2 and that's exactly what this cards it. Note that's not compatible with the latest version Altera/Intel Quartus but you can download older versions like 13.1 SP. Just make sure it supports the Cyclone II family of FPGAs. We also have an EP4 version of this card for sale here on Tindie.

Here's the features list:

6 bit video on VGA
PS/2 connector
512KB of SRAM for banked use in CP/M
Mount for inexpensive FTDI USB to serial converter
SD Card
DC power jack

What makes it special?

It really lets you play around with retro computing or designs of your own. It leaves plenty of extra I/O for your own expansion and designing.

We put together a video series on using the card. We've also got links to the various CPU builds of Multicomp below.
