[sdiy] sdiy dsp board?

[James Patchell]

Not exactly DSP....

I am trying to come up with a way to do Digital Synthesis with a Spartan 
III Fpga...one possibility is to make an outrigger board for the Spartan 
III Starter kit from Xilinx.  I am running into some difficulties...mostly 
due to the fact that in reality...the XC3S200 is just plain not big 
enough.  The Spartan 3E starter board may be a better choice...it is 
supposed to have an XC3S500E on it...much bigger...but not ready for sale 
until December....
