| Grant Searle designed the Multicomp microcomputer, a [[boards:sbc:multicomp:start|single board computer]], to run a wide variety of vintage software. The software runs on a soft CPU core simulated inside the FPGA, either a Z80, 6502, 6809, or 6800. | Grant Searle designed the Multicomp microcomputer, a [[boards:sbc:multicomp:start|single board computer]], to run a wide variety of vintage software.

| An Altera Cyclone II or Cyclone IV based hardware programmable microcomputer based on Grant Searle's original design. The Multicomp currently supposes 3 different microprocessors as well as multiple Operating Environments and Disk Operating Systems. All three Multicomp versions originally had just a BASIC Interpreter in rom in the FPGA chip. Since then, CamelForth 1.0, 6809 Extended Basic 1.1, Cubix 1.3, Flex 9 and NitrOS-9 6809 L1 have been ported to the 6809 Multicomp called the Multicomp09 by Neal Crook. CP/M 2.2, CP/M 3.0 and MP/M II v2.1 have been ported to the Z80 Multicomp by Max Scane and James Moxham who also created both the Cyclone II based Multicomp PCB and the Cyclone IV based Multicomp PCB. | An Altera Cyclone II or Cyclone IV based hardware programmable microcomputer based on Grant Searle's original design.
