Losing the PCI interface when reprogramming the FPGA was one of the biggest COMPLAINTS. Look, if you want to do your own interface, you'll have the info you need to be able to reprogram the chip with the PCI interface in it. It just means you have to do two chips. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
