Wow! the EP2C5T144C8N board is only $14.95AU on ebay!

That a pretty good basis for a CoCo3 FPG design. Just add a daughter
card with the required I/O. 

This is compatible with the DE1 board?

I know it may not be the perfect solution and that there may be more
powerful FPGA boards, but the price sure is a good start.

 Grant Searle has also a FPGA project:

 """
 Pick-and-mix to create your own custom computer on a low-cost FPGA
board
 (BASIC, Z80, 6502, 6809, internal/external RAM,
serial/keyboard+monitor, SD-card 
 for CP/M or other storage)
 """
