That's the big problem. Even though you probably

these ASCIs with a modern FPGA suitably programmed, since you don't have
the specs of it, you have a very long day ahaed of you.
FPGA's and CPLD's seem to be going obsolite even before the datasheets
are printed or even updated on the web. The main problem with
programable logic is that almost all the software is windows based that
is low cost. Allmost all the high priced stuff is unix based and very
closed source in most aspects.
