SMC?

In this case I plan to use good sockets.

All the TTL is in the FPGA.:)
Most of the TTL used is simple buffering or decoding.

The whole point of the cpu I designed, was because I am not happy
with 8 bit micro's, RISC machines, or INTEL. Now what I wonder about
is people that put a 6502 in a FPGA while you still can buy the real
thing?
I also wonder about FPGA's when you can't fit a 6502 in one!

I can guarantee you don't have a 12/24 bit cpu like mine. ( Not that you
would
want one :) )
