Re: FPGA/CPLD different approach

For some purposes OHO's GOP board might be a better fit than the GODIL -
it's smaller, got fewer pins, but has a 512kByte SRAM on board..

(For simple designs there are CPLD variations, but as noted that's not big
enough for a 6502-like CPU, or for ROM or RAM.)

As noted elsewhere, these boards have 5V level converters, crystals, and
on-board EEPROM for configuration.
