[Oberon] New FPGA Oberon board

[Walter Gallegos]

A Nexys 4 Artix-7 FPGA board is very close to a hypothetic Oberon FPGA 
board, price $320.00.  This board have a PSRAM, RISC5 could be implemented 
with minimum modifications; but I need confirm this.

I don't think that an Oberon FPGA board could be manufactured (with 
everything that we need) to reach the market for $ 150 in low volume.

Best regards,
Walter

I'm happy to go with whatever Magnus (Saanlima Electronics) decides to
implement. After all he has proven that he is able to deliver on both
hardware and software.

As for price anything under $US150 for a new system would be less than is
currently available for an Oberon FPGA system. Under $US100 would be a
bonus. Even if it just for a hobby it's a lot cheaper than stamp collecting
or playing golf!

I would be prepared to contribute to a Kickstarter project if Saanlima was
the deevloper.

Chris
