The '''CPC TREX''' is a real hardware CPC rebuilt with FPGA technology which also includes some new features and possibilities. The '''CPC TREX''' consists of the Amstrad CPC turbo core written by [[TobiFlex]] and the reconfigurable T-REX C1 board by TerasIC, which is based on the Cyclone FPGA by Altera. This is not one more CPC software emulator but something like a real hardware CPC rebuilded with FPGA technology, which also includes some new features and possibilities. The TREX C1 board is very small, an industrial production and it contains connectors to all the standard PC periphery like VGA monitors, PS/2 input devices and CF cards.
The Amstrad CPC turbo core of the CPC TREX is based on [[TobiFlex]]s' [[C-ONE]] turbo core, which has been developed for the C-One board. It contains two Z80 cpus implemented in the FPGA, which are running at the same time. The first CPU runs a special version of [[SymbOS]] to control the rom and disc configuration of the Amstrad CPC. The CPC itself is running on the second CPU.
