than $20. Compared to the price of admission fee for,
say, FPGA,
it's a real bargain.
You can program xilinx and altera FPGAs for less than
$20 if you have
a
parallel port. Do a search on "byteblaster" and be happy :)
Yes, but
what about the software to compile your design (as a scheamtic
or VHDL) into the data to program into the chip? How much does that cost
_including the machine to run it on_
Software is free (for Altera or Xilinx). The machine costs the same the
machine 99% of people uses to type e-mail and read web pages.
