... If the X16 is turning into more of a simple FPGA board, what is unique about it that isn't already out there? For example, here is the SiDi FPGA from the ZX Spectrum community: ...
Note that there is a false premise here. The X16 is not "turning into more of a simple FPGA board" ... first, the FPGA board "X16e" version was on the "development plan" long before the X8 question was raised in The Megathread, and second, it was quite explicit before and it was made quite explicit in the "Megathread" that the "simple FPGA board" system is not taking the place of the X16p.
