Last year I had the opportunity to get 2 Terasic T-REX C1 boards at an affordable price. They are obsolete now, but I have the project to revive the CPC T-REX as a proof of concept, and try to use it at the most ot its potential .
I have a few questions to ask before to begin with this project, as i am pretty much ignorant when it comes to FPGA boards.
1) The core for the CPC turbo contains the version 2 of SYMBOS. Since then, a version 3 appeared with, among other things, network capability. Can i simply remove the SYMBOS 2 file from the core by erasing it and replace it with the version 3 with a simple copy function? Or is it more complicated than that?
2) What is the format I have to use for the 128 mb CF flash card (FAT 16?)
3) Is the serial port present on the board of any use with the CPC turbo core, and are serial and networlk communication possible from the CPC side? Same question with what it seems two IDE connectors present on the board. How can i use them with the CPC T-REX to expand its interest?
Thanks a lot for your advices, as the documentation about the CPC T-REX is scarce (even with the help of the Wayback machine), and the readme file of the core is a little bit obscure at places.
I'm now wondering if UniDOS works on my TRex. And I wonder, will a TRex core work on later Terasic Altera 2 boards?
It would be cool if the GPIO pins of the TRex were coded to be mx4 compatible too

The TREX is mostly SYMBiFACE II compatible. I don't see a reason why UniDOS shouldn't work.
