   There is a new proposal from Jean-Marc who used to post here:   
      
   https://cod5.com/citizen-computer.html   
      
   It requires me to switch from x86 to MIPS as that it is the only   
   PD processor that we know of.   
      
   But PDOS-generic doesn't care about that.   
      
   The PD tools I am using may need to change though.   
   At least the assembler.   
      
   I do need a pseudo-BIOS for pdos-generic to run under,   
   and I am wondering how many lines of code that would be.   
      
   I'm also wondering whether I can simply buy a laptop with   
   that FPGA in it instead of constructing a desktop.   
      
   I'm thinking of a completely dead laptop.   
      
   Doesn't even have a functioning processor.   
      
   So you need to first load the FPGA and then you need   
   to load the BIOS and then you need to load the OS.   
      
   I don't know if that is technically possible.   
      
   Even the S360/67 had a processor.   
      
   But that's all. After that it relied on the intelligent   
   peripherals (card reader) or you could manipulate   
   switches on the console.   
      
   Note - I know virtually nothing about FPGAs.
