1. New TS2068 Computer Possible?

I saw this in an FPGA newsletter I get at work:  
http://www.bazix.nl/onechipmsx.html

  It looks like it could be a way to bring the Sinclair family of 
computers into the 21st century.  It even looks like there are extra 
pins that could be used for the TS expansion bus.  This would be a 
natural extension of Alvin's original FPGA work for the 2068.  The 
biggest advantage is that no plug-in boards would be needed except for 
the expansion bus buffers and connectors.

I agree, but it looks like they didn't get enough pre-orders to allow producing this puppy.  Too bad.
