Hi, I'm starting on FPGAs. How about Xilinx Spartan 3 starter kit?. It's any better under $200. http://www.xilinx.com/products/spartan3/s3boards.htm Best regards, Rodrigo.

According to the Xilinx site, the Spartan-3 starter kit is only $99 now and comes with a bunch of stuff to get started. It sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Has anyone else found a better starter kit? Dave "Nitron" <yo@yo.com> wrote in message news:cvgrfo$4uq$1@news1.nivel5.cl...> Hi, > > I'm starting on FPGAs. How about Xilinx Spartan 3 starter kit?.

There's also FPGA 4 Fun with a few. http://www.digilentinc.com/ http://www.fpga4fun.com/ -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

The problem is that (most probably) FE doesn't sell the kit in Europe because major Altera's distributor in Europe is EBV. At least polish FE's branch doesn't sell it. So an European has to ask a friend from North America. :-) Regards, /J.D. -- Jan Dubiec We're all living in Amerika jdx#slackware.pl Coca Cola +48 506 790442 Sometimes war Amerika by Rammstein

I have the spartan 3 kit you find on the xilinx website. Its great, and when your order it from digilent you can spend an extra 20$ and get the 400k instead of the 200k. Add to your cart the 200k, the following screen will ask you if you want to upgrade. mike D
