[debian] back to minimal....

full desktops are no-go for me...  too much even XFCE.. darn, so 'custom' openbox + my usual apps (wine/arduino/libreOffice, also Lotus123Unix/WP Unix ) + custom scripts, launcher? dmenu of course.

To be honest there are some nice light debian flavours like Lilidog

but FFS I am a cat person!!1 sorry ... 😂 

[FPGA] MiSTeryNano

This is an ST/E FPGA implementation on Tang Nano 20k FPGA board , 'cheap' as chips hah (ok not exactly... sort of)

The core runs on other boards as well : Tang Primer 25k and Tang Mega 138k  (more expensive options, esp as you need extra RAM/SD etc modules for them.)

Project on github

[update after a lot of tests]

CONS

- current dock no THT, ordering a ready one (SMT) will increase the total cost to about £80 (more or less the half price of MiST)

- The M0S dock may function with certain mouse/keyboard/hubs

- USB compatibility (upd. 29 APR '24)

• Trust wireless MSE/KBD : only keyboard works
• HAMA wireless MSE/KBD: only keyboard works
• Logitech wired KBD + wired logi MSE : mouse bit fast, keyboard OK
• Logitech wired KBD + Logi wireless MSE: mouse does not work.
• Logitech wireless K400+ (combo): both work fine

Good project anyway, there is also SNES,  NES, Amiga, C64 cores \o/  

(yeah Till Harbaum rulez !)
