An 8-bit computer to promote the hex system

The website bo8h.de presents an 8-bit computer with a character set, that includes a hexadecimal set of numerals. The numerals A..F are represented by modified versions of the letters A..F.

Further features of the computer are the self-developed CPU, the slot-concept, and the address-range with several 64K-pages.

The computer has been realized on these FPGA boards:

• Spartan-3A/3AN Starter Kit from Xilinx
• Spartan-3E Starter Board from Digilent
• Nexys2 Board from Digilent
• Altera DE1 Board
• Altera DE0 Board
• Altera DE0-nano Board

The project is waiting for hobbyists, who will realize the computer on one of the FPGA boards and will report about that.
