be an FPGA implementation, and to me, at least, that's one step more
interesting than software emulation. I emulate because I must, but
I'd love to run the real thing.
Well, XKL's TOAD-1 is "an FPGA emulation", strictly speaking. It's
much more "grown up", though, than somebody spending a year working on
the VHDL or Verilog, then copping out and squirting it into a friggin'
eval board but never designing any hardware. ;)
