BTW guys, the DE1 can be modified for more RAM (many of my friends have 1GB installed on it), and its a pretty good general purpose FPGA system.
Instead of waiting for a specifically designed board, I've been getting good results with this for awhile.
Oh, and its cheap. Easy to find one for $100 to $120.
Yeah, I have been planning on this for quite a while, but find it a bit difficult to chose which Altera DE1/DE2/DE0(nano) etc to go for.
I suppose DE1 uses same core as MIST? I recall the first MIST cores by Chaos to come from DE1, and I have also seen various expansion boards for DE1. Any ethernet solution, or high(er) speed serial port available and supported by the Minimig core?
