In the realm of computers, the idea of using one machine to control another is not a new concept. With the right tools and configurations, it's quite possible to remote access a PC from another computer using a terminal program. Surprisingly, one such candidate for this role is the venerable C64 or C128.

Decades ago, the idea of a RAM disk and RAM upgrade, such as the Atari 256K RAM upgrade, seemed like a distant dream. Over time, microcomputers with less than 64K bytes of RAM became increasingly rare.

In the realm of vintage computing, enthusiasts and purists alike seek solutions that honor the legacy of iconic systems while seamlessly integrating modern functionality. Enter FPGATED, an innovative prototype by István Hegedűs poised to redefine the experience of owners of Commodore 16, Commodore 116, and Commodore Plus/4 computers by serving as a drop-in replacement for the 8360 TED chip on the 264 series machines.
