Subject: Do old FPGA's decay?

But do old FPGA's just quietly go belly-up? Or is there something about
the XC2064-50 that I'm in the dark about? Are there any easy tests that I
can apply to confirm my suspicions?
Not that I know of and I use them. Years ago Tim gave me a bunch of 2064s
and 3030s to learn FPGAs and I've used a bunch of them. All of mine load
from an eprom and I've had the eeprom that loads it
fail. Like any device
it can fail though.
At power up it should have activity on the programming IO.
