[hpsdr] Training wheels for MaxII?

[John B. Stephensen]

$6 is expensive. Altera EPM3032 and EPM3064 CPLDs are $1 and $2 in unit
quantities and you can still get them in PLCC pakages that fit in sockets
that mount on 0.1" grid perf. board.

If you need more than the MaxII, Xilinx XC3S200 and XC3S400 FPGAs are much
larger and are $13 and $22 at Nu Horizons in quantities of 1. These come in
100 and 144-pin QFPs. Xilinx development software, including FFT, CORDIC and
other free IP, is now downloadable from their website at no charge.

MSI CMOS logic is dead.
