Xilinx ML310 Experience?

[news.optimum-online.com]

I guess this evaluation board is pretty new, but I was
wondering what experiences people are having with
this board. It seems like one of the few boards that
have general purpose expansion (Card Bus and PCI)
as well as supports the multiprocessor varient of
the Xilinx Virtex II Pro family (v30).

That coupled with Linux and Vxworks seems to
make the board pretty interesting. However, I haven't
seen much in the way of net traffic on it, and was
wondering if that was because it was so new or
some other reason.

It may simply be that the board costs $2500 and requires the
incredibly expensive full version of ISE rather than the freely-
downloadable one to develop for; I get the impression that quite
a lot of Net traffic comes from hobbyists who don't have the
spare cash.
