Re: Free FPGA design tools...

 Sounds like something cool to check out...

 But, while we're on topic, I'd like to make a comment. I'm a little
 shocked that some of these companies don't distribute development tools
 free for the chips they make. If they want the chips they have
 developed used by anyone other than a huge manufacturer... there should
 be free (or low cost) tools. If the chips are bitchin' and the tools
 are cheap and not pathetic, I'd use the part in my design. If not,
 hell with that company. It's not like there aren't enough choices
 for programmable logic on the market...

 The old days model of "we supply the chips, we supply the burners,
 we supply the software" is gone... or should be...

                                        IMHO,
