Hi all. This is a serious problem, in that CASPER can't abandon earlier users and maintain any sort of following. We have an installed base of hardware that will remain Virtex-II Pro for some time to come. (As does David, of course!) IMO, there has to be a conscious effort to maintain tools for each generation of hardware, at least to some point. I think that since 10.1 is the last version to support the Virtex-II Pro, it should be kept up to date and usable, at least for some time to come.
