What I want is 5 volt I/O FPGA with a flash Boot prom for the FPGA

With Altera, you had a TTL macro library at one time. Not sure if the
newest version still supports it.
Ben.
I find most of the open source HDL simulators kind of
suck. I think you can
still get ModelSim Web edition for free from altera.
I think you get 1 month free ... then $$$.
This will do mixed language designs of Verilog, VHDL
and schematic, and
works rather nicely.
Altera has AHDL as well. Not portable, but less confusing to write logic
in.
