IO voltage levels and cheap FPGA dev boards

[Philip Balister]

First, let me get this off my chest, I take a "few" years off from 
hardware design and all of a sudden there are more logic voltage levels 
than I have fingers ....

So after a conversation in #gnuradio we have figured out the $200 
Cyclone III dev board only supports 2.5 volt IO. I need to interface 
with the Beagle Board expansion connector at 1.8 volts. Basically, we 
need to configure one bank of IO for 1.8 volt IO to talk to the Beagle 
Board Expansion connector. This does not look practical with the low 
cost Altera board (and looking at the higher end boards, nothing jumped 
out at me as solving the problem)

Rather than wait on a Chris to make a board so I can start working on 
the interface, does anyone have any good idea on connecting an FPGA to 
the Beagle Board expansion connector? At this point I don't care who 
makes the FPGA :)
