I hadn't seen the A2FPGA card before. It was briefly discussed on HN a couple years ago:by js2

You could probably implement the whole Apple II on the FPGA and have LUTs to spare...Edit: Tang Nano 20K, so fairly powerful, with 64Mbit of DRAM (enough to use as a virtual hard drive.)

I realize it's not an FPGA, but even in 1986 the entire Apple II was already available on a single ASIC:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_II
Can get a Sipeed Tang Nano 20K FPGA Development Board from AliExpress for $7.05. I don't know the first thing about working with FPGAs, but this seems like something worth learning someday.
