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_
