FPGA Prototyping Board

I've got a design for a $40 assembled and tested fpga dev board that is
on a pci card for use in a standard PC (probably running linux). It would
have ethernet and some other ports for experimentation, but basically the
fpga would become a configurable pci device. Possible applications could be
mpeg encoding/decoding, encryption/decryption, or just plain experimentation
with fpga technology. I'm debating whether to do a production run of these
things, but if they won't sell I don't want to bother. Would anyone
consider buying such a thing?

I would happily buy one.

I would too. But as long as it is not shipped by UPS. I would cost more

than that to ship to Australia. Documentation would be important as in this
case I am a bit thick.

XC2S100E 100K gates 2,700 logic cells. It's a Xilinx part
 
Hi,

For those of you who might be interested in such
prototyping boards, and have the time to fab it
yourself, I have designed such a board and you
can get the gerber photoplots for it at:

http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/crabill/projects/

Have fun, I sure did... I've tested this board
out and it works as intended. You can use it
with the Xilinx v3.0 PCI32 LogiCORE.

Put me down for one, then.
