SV: [sdiy] Xilinx FPGA news...Digital SDIY anyone?

[James Patchell]

It is very much within the realm of possibilities to do 4096 oscillators 
(in one bank)...sample rate would probably be around 24KHz or so (assuming 
100MHz clock)...or, several 512 oscillator banks with a sample rate of ~ 
96KHz (50MHz clock)....
