Another new FPGA board to play with

[wb4jfi at knology.net]

New Sparkfun board, based on the Xilinx Spartan 6 LX9.  Seems to be a 
dumbed-down version of a Papilio Plus/Pro (whatever...).  Which itself is a 
dumbed-down version of... oh, never mind.

Stupid to be building all these fast, very  capable hardware boards, with a 
SERIAL interface  via a USB chip, but serial data transfer...  Let's buy a 
Porsche and put a Volkswagon engine in it.  Oh, wait.... been there,  done 
that.  Won a lot of races.

Bad analogy, I guess.  At least it's cheaper than the rest.  And, what a 
cool name!  oh boy...
