I have the Nexys-2
which I got from Farnell, who I believe trade as
Element14 in the US, but buying direct from Digilent looks OK. If you
can find a tame student you may also be able to get one at an academic
discount.

You can buy the boards from Digilent or Terasic - or their resellers.
That's
http://www.digilentinc.com/ and http://www.terasic.com/ . Which is best
depends a bit on what you want to do with it - but the de0 from terasic is a
nice board to start out with. And the nexys2-1200 has the advantage that the
ethernet pmod from Digilent can be plugged in to it - and, if you want the
Ethernet stuff, you'd only need to deal with one vendor. On Sunday, April 14, 2013 21:04:38 Dave wrote:
Got one for sale?
Ben. There are also implementions in FPGA of
several other CPUs, including PDP/8 and PDP/11 (but not sure how
complete the PDP/11 ones are).
My fpga PDP11 is very complete. You can run all the
historic operating
systems on it, including 2.11BSD. And you can even hook it up to
ethernet. No more need for a pc to simulate.
