Making a Retrocomputer with a 68000 CPU in an FPGA

The base card has 1MB of external SRAM. It requires 3 of the 50 MHz clocks which means the CPU runs at 16.7 MHz when accessing the external SRAM. 

Other (internal) SRAM/ROM/Peripherals accesses take 2 of 50 MHz clocks which means the CPU runs at 25 MHz for these accesses.

Tweeked the design and it runs reliably now. Created TS2_V001 branch since it is stable. Reverted the change to the ACIA receive buffer RTS handshake depth threshold.

Features are found here.
