Just to congratulate everyone involved.

Any thoughts about pursuing similar endeavours with System 3?

System 3 is closer to modern systems in L&F, which could make some students feel more inspired to delve into Oberon based platforms.

Just as an idea for other upcoming projects, I guess.



We are currently discussing a number of ideas for a followup project in addition to creating an FPGA version...

I'm currently digging through the 1992/2005 edition of the Project Oberon book (for the National Semiconductor 32k-based Ceres workstations from ETHZ - https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon1992.pdf). The Ceres Oberon version had a number of additional features, e.g. it could use the MMU for memory protection, which the RISC5 version doesn't support.
