[sdiy] Xilinx Spartan 3 kits

>From what I've seen yesterday, you could easily get a powerful 
all-in-one System into the 400k spartan; when using Microblaze the 200k 
is somewhat tight in space to get more than just CPU+UART and some asic 
I/O into it.

What I'm personally thinking of is a digital postprocessing board for 
the output of the many DOC soundchips I have. Yes, I know, the DOC is 
crap and would probably eat up no more space than recreating something 
more powerful in VHDL and slamming it right into the FPGA. Would also 
save the extra (fast) ADC.

But I got like 90 of them so I gotta do *something* with them.
