Whereas space isn't much of an issue anymore. Even on the smallest 
Spartans you should be able to install a number of Picoblazes as the 
XC2S-200 is already enough to hold an entire SoC somewhat resembling a 
an 80186 or similar microcontrollers.

Rainer (currently playing with ML403 and just amazed by the fact that
	this board pretty much gives the same basic computing power as 
	a 10 year old top-of-the-line workstation -- plus the 
	possibility of hardware acceleration)
