PCI FPGA Dev kits/SOPC boards

[Andre Bonin]

Hey all!
I'me looking for a PCI card that would have an FPGA chip on it that i
could re-program on the fly (without a power cycle).

Nothing fancy, though it would be nice if i could program the FPGA and
the board would handle all PCI, memory and other access for me.
(meaning i only would have to program the FPGA).

I want to be able from a custom software driver that i will make to
re-program the fpga on the fly, and send data to be processed.

Thanks a lot!

How do I take an exisiting FPGA design ( say a xilinx Spartan IIE or III,
designed in vhdl, simulated in ModelSim and is presently running
successfully in an FPGA ) and cost reduce it as an ASIC:
1. What type of quantities are needed to make ASIC viable
2. Please name a couple of ASIC houses that do this sort of think,
especially for the entry level market
3, What will I need to do to the FPGA design to facilitate its conversion to
ASIC?

Thanks for bear with such a general question
