Slowly moving forward to my bigger project, found a need to do more experimenting. Something was done because of the need, something - just for fun, but at the end I made a more sound-oriented version of my universal (almost) 8-bit card:
1. Relatively large FPGA, that allows to do almost everything imaginable
2. A lot (for 8-bit system) of DRAM - could be used as EMS, video-RAM etc
3. A lot of flash memory - could be used for something 😀
4. RTC
5. HDMI connector - virtually any videocard can be created in FPGA, and will be quite handy to use HDMI to connect it to modern monitors
6. RCA connector with the circuit from original CGA adapter - still trying to re-create cycle-accurate CGA, but don't have enough time for now...
7. microSD card connector - to use SD card as HDD
8. More-less decent audio CODEC
9. Real OPL3 chip
10. Connector for waveblaster daughter card
11. External MIDI interface - planning to adapt HardMPU
