The board has VGA,serial ,SDRAM that have to be programed for use.
I would have to re-event the wheel to recreate the design the hardware
is programed with. A nice 6809B computer is looking better and better.

I don't particularly like the DE0 (straight, not NANO version) because
it has SDRAM and FLASH only, no external SRAM.
The DE0 NANO however has a fairly large Cyclone IV device with lots of
internal SRAM blocks (594Kb total).
The DE1, altho it is based on an older Cyclone II device, has an
external 512KB async SRAM on the board.
I don't quite understand the substance of your question (who has the IP
for the device configuration). Can you elaborate?
You own the IP for what you design, but Altera provides the proprietary
tools to do the design.
Why do you all assume, it has to be on the FPGA. 512KB memory
not on the FPGA. Quickly looking at Digikey Canada -- Altera Flex 6000
seems
to fit my needs, but no development board. The DE0 board for now
looks to
be a valid base development board for now. Looks like I'll order it
early next year.

Looks at the DE0 board in detail ... Not so good, who has the
Intellectual property
for the device configuration?
