> There is an overbeleif in what software is suitable for IMHO. [Fun discussion. Thanks.]
Many years ago, somebody on the FPGA newsgroup pointed out that, in general, if you can do the problem in software that's probably the better way. One of the considerations is that it's easier to hire programmers rather than hardware designers. FPGAs are halfway between real hardware and software. You can try a simple change without any harsh time or cost penalty to make new masks and new chips. If that change is a bug fix, you might think of it as typical sloppy programmer behavior. On the other hand, that change may be a new idea you want to try... For many people in this group, fun is probably the most important consideration. Different things will appeal to different people. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
