I figured that the OGD1 order form should link to an FAQ. Here are
some ideas. Please critique and suggest more.

** Who designed OGD1?
The founder of the OGP, Timothy Miller, and his partners at Traversal,
Andy Fong and Howard Parkin, have in excess of a combined 30 years of
hardware (PCB, ASIC, FPGA) design experience. In particular, they
have experience developing graphics hardware used in air traffic
control and military installations. OGD1 was designed based on that
experience, with high standards for reliability, signal integrity, and
component selection.
(If I were anything more than a lurker waiting for OGC) I'd feel more
comfortable knowing that more than 3 people were involved in making my $1500
piece of hardware. Perhaps mention all the people who've looked over the design
and made suggestions, improvements, and fixes?
** What software will I need to develop logic for OGD1?
For simulation, we primarily use Icarus Verilog. Icarus is Free
Software and is also available pre-packaged in Debian and RPM formats.
Check it out at "http://www.icarus.com/eda/verilog/";.
For the Xilinx FPGA, you need a version of ISE that supports the
3S4000 chip. The most recent versions do not. So you either need to
get a commercial license, or you can add a service pack to the ISE
Webpack version 6.3i. [...]
Is there a word missing here or something? I don't see how getting a commercial
license would help if the most recent versions don't support the chip anyway...
Thanks for all you guys have done!
