Just a thought about the CPLD vs. TTL discussion: Would it
be possible to design the device such that it could be
built EITHER in TTL chips OR as a CPLD? With the same
interface to the host computer and software? If it could,
then those who prefer CPLDs could use one, and those who'd
rather rummage about in the "500ft" junk box can do that.
Or am I missing an fundamental difference here?
