Emulator is cheap. Any real decent hardware will be easily in the $200+ range if not more. Right now the DE-2 Coco3FPGA is the defacto standard. There are a few other boards that may be a second solution but still they are in the $150 range. Still the FPGA development boards have some liability. Either the lack of color depth or lack of SRAM or BOTH. james |"james" <bubba@bud.u> wrote in message |news:6deff6l7631vfa9fbjrtvcm48psr9ctjdn@4ax.com... |> On Wed, 1 Dec 2010 15:19:46 -0800, "Stephen H.
