Thanks a lot for that Michael. It looks almost useful and it looks like you can buy just the chips for $48usd too, which isn't too bad really for my project, but I would have preferred something from a bigger manufacturer as it looks like its just a programmed fpga. Also it's maximum throughput is only 28MB/s and I need 30MB/s minimum. I know its close but ...
