Hi Derek
This topic is for the fpga board, you have the simple cpld ULA board and can't have this functionality with the small cpld ic.
I'm sorry for the confusion, there are 2 topics the one that has a title "CPLD replacement for ZX8301" is about the small board that is just a ula replacement.
The current topic is for the bigger board with the fpga ic that has the extra abilities.
OK, no problems, can I buy one the FPGA boards: ZX8301plus, or ZX8301++

There's been a theme of Greek figures in the QL - Minverva, Aurora, Hermes - so maybe an addition to that line?
How about "Muse" as it spurs creativity?

Also, Zeus or Aries both sound good...I like the latter.
If we go with Norse theme, there are some cool ones too. Mimir is the god of wisdom.

The one and only name should be IKARUS.

As did the QL
Same story, flying high, being ahead of its time, crashing.

Maybe an artificial ancient Greek-sounding name like "Ulanus"

If the QL crashed, why am I still using it.
Icarus, was just a stupid person, with no common sense.
