The ZX-Uno+ is a board that allows several computers to be implemented, mirroring the original hardware as close as possible. That is made possible by using an FPGA, that may be set up thanks to circuit definition languages such as VHDL or Verilog.

Although it was originally designed to clone Sinclair’s ZX Spectrum and probably that computer implementation is the most complete one, ZX-Uno+ may also implement some other computers and consoles (although due to space requirements, only 9 cores at once can be loaded). Those alternative cores are Sam Coupe, Jupiter Ace, Apple II, Acorn Atom, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Oric Atmos and VIC-20, together with implementations for Master System, NES and Atari 2600 consoles.

The ZX-Uno+ board is designed with same form factor than the original Raspberry Pi model A, having most of its connections placed at same place, allowing us to use boxes designed for that Raspberry Pi with minimal modifications.
The ZX-Uno+ FPGA is a Spartan-6, with features that can target mainly 8 bits consoles and computers.
