Great I will check it out! I got interested in the ATARI ST when I read about the VT52 extensions in the Wikipedia and I wanted to try 4 bits color for foreground/background and palettes.

I have this hardcoded to 9600bps but it should be able to do up to 115200 with no problem.

I really want to explore the space of modest processor with custom chips like Commodore & Atari did on their 8bit and 16 bits systems. I find it way more interesting/fun than the ultimately successful superscalar/big cache/big gpu that we ended up with, and fpgas make it very easy to test things out.
