If it is on a board, that is leaps and bounds ahead of having a chip in your hand. The board has to be set up for doing something and that can always be of benefit. That's why a hardware background is an advantage. I can see that Jurgen's friends would have more utility for the unit. I offered to work with them once but I don't recall there was much I could do for them. I'm good with VHDL, but I prefer to work from specifications rather than trying to divine a spec from poor documentation. I'm not clear on what is available. -- Rick C
