LisaFPGA recreates Apple's Lisa computer logic on FPGAs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A project called LisaFPGA has recreated Apple's Lisa computer's logic using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This open-source effort aims to bring back the functionality of the original, which was a commercial failure for Apple, at a significantly lower cost. The recreation is designed to be compatible with Twiggy drives, the original storage medium for the Lisa. AI

RANK_REASON This is a recreation of legacy hardware using modern programmable logic, which falls under the category of tools or hobbyist projects rather than a new frontier release or significant industry event.
