I found a
dozen or so Xilinx protoboards, size of a punch card
half of it
open, 2 digit display, couple buttons, some kind
of serial looking
connection, runs off a 9v battery, big socket in the middle
with a square chip in it of the same name.
It's an XC4003A demo board and it came with tools, demo projects and a cable
to hook it to your PC to program it.
The idea was you could see how easy FPGA use was and then you'd buy 1000s of
them for your next project.
I have the chip datasheet, it's available from freetradezone.com
