Rumor has it that Dave McGuire may have mentioned these words:

On that particular note, are there halfway decent dev. boards for less than
$100? I don't care if it's used, old (read: not USB/ethernet compatible) as
the parts I'm interested in are fairly low-end (=<80 pins) - mainly for use
in classic computing projects that I can't seem to get moving on... ;-)
I can't see investing in a $400 dev. board just to find out I'm too durned
stoopid to figure them thangs out... ;-)

What do you do when Life gives you lemons,
and you don't *like* lemonade?????????????
Not vintage, but closely related.
Rather than write some emulation software, I'd like to see if I can
implement some simpler CPU designs in FPGA.
I see various development kits out there with various capabilities
(I/O memory, displays, etc.).
Is there any particular kit that stands heads and shoulders above the
others? Is there a preference between Xilinx and Altera?
I'm just looking for some pointers here.
I personally prefer the Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs, but that's most
likely because I started out with them. I really, really like the
Digilent development boards.
