This would be great! I would also like to test this and see how we can make the milkymist logo more clearly outlined in the dark with the led lights... I think HDMI way more important now thatn the others...I think simple, we just add it and drop other connectors that way we get audio and video through one port. > I don't know how many FPGA pins we still have, if we also consider > some expensive new ideas like dvi-i, wider expansion ports, dual > head, touchpad, etc. > Yes, dual-head would be better...a vga and an hdmi port would be ideal.
