No rush. I hope it's been entered into the July contest (seeing as I sent=

email with the design files on the 25th).

I've just bought a few Xilinx XC9536XL CPLDs and a Gameboy Colour. At the
moment, I'm playing around with an enhanced version of the SX logic analy=
ser.
The Z80 in the Gameboy is slower (based on clockspeed) but the CPLDs can
acquire data much faster than the SX could. It loses its "can be built ou=
t of
the contents of a junkbox" feature though, which I think was the major
attraction of the SX design. Buy an SX, program it, steal a cache RAM out=
 of
an old 386, wire up and go.
I'm still surprised it got second place - still, the prize money was very
useful for replacing my PC, which literally blew up the day the cheque
cleared. Strange how things always seem to break at the most inopportune
time. Nice that ISE and EAGLE run bit faster though :)

I've had a few people do that too - "I'm not using it in a commercial
environment, but I really like your bootloader, so here's =A310." That
certainly helped with the bandwidth bill - I'm paying =A351 a year for tw=

domains, PHP, CGI, a 5MB MySQL database, and 10MB of mail storage on a Li=

thing.

Bah. Guess I need to do some more posting :)

Anyway James, many thanks for the work you've done keeping the PIClist.co=

Thanks,
