How so? Ok, it's a board with an FPGA on it with 90 user I/Os,
but i see not much use in it w/o a PCI interface.

for our (video) needs)

I know. It wasn't a remark against you, but a general statement
that we need something to sell OGD with.

I don't know how it is in the states, but here in europe
it's more or less just Xilinx (around 60% i'd say). And if
you dont use Xilinx, then you'll get an Altera. I haven't met
anyone using a Lattice chip for at least 5 years.

Exactly. Even if it's just software for free that you can
download anyways, it would still give some "added value".
