On the subject of FPGA's and CPLD's, does anyone know of an FPGA that is either: -Easy to use for a hobbyist (DIP Packaging?) or -Comes on a PCB with all (or most) of the pins going to headers or pins I have simulated a few designs using VHDL and ModelSim, but the thought of soldering a 100 pin TQFP chip doesn't seem doable.
