Jan 03 06:37:04 [g2]: s/do/finish/, i suppose Jan 03 06:37:37 [g2]: hehe, you could put it that way Jan 03 06:37:38 <[g2]> lennert it's the difference between "have to" and "get to" Jan 03 06:37:54 <[g2]> the first sounds like a punishment Jan 03 06:37:54 have to do == get to finish, no? Jan 03 06:38:06 most of it is legacy fixups, so its not fun work Jan 03 06:38:09 <[g2]> the second like an opportunity Jan 03 06:38:28 [g2]: your boss makes it sound like an opportunity, though ;) Jan 03 06:38:32 <[g2]> You could be buried in a coal mine in WV Jan 03 06:39:01 <[g2]> lennert exactly (as I am my own boss) and we all are really, but we forget that often Jan 03 06:39:33 <[g2]> OK.... my wife is the _real_ boss but she's not watching me type :) Jan 03 06:40:52 anyone know a good usb channel? Jan 03 06:41:37 hehe Jan 03 06:41:41 well, i'm not quite my own boss Jan 03 06:43:42 <[g2]> lennert you decide what your do everyday right ?

Jan 03 13:37:09 they are manufacturing the S3e boards but the first run but Xilinx is distributing them. Jan 03 13:37:10 ka6sox-office: whats the scoop? Jan 03 13:37:29 so get your names on the list with Xilinx. Jan 03 13:37:47 either that or wait until the second run and get it from digilentinc. Jan 03 13:38:46 and wait until you have enough money again ;) Jan 03 13:38:54 ya Jan 03 13:38:58 hehe Jan 03 13:39:17 thats the story and they are sticking to it! Jan 03 13:39:21 s/you have/the wife will let you spend/ Jan 03 13:39:41 heh Jan 03 13:39:55 if I get the S3e I'll be selling the S3 Jan 03 13:40:12 that will help partially pay for it. Jan 03 13:42:34 i'm trying to sell my s3 Jan 03 13:42:45 but the guy who is most interested doesn't have any money atm :) Jan 03 13:46:24 bummer Jan 03 14:00:34 <[g2]> hey I talked to them about an hour ago Jan 03 14:01:29 i'd prefer getting it from digilent Jan 03 14:01:47 with the s3 board, if you get it from xilinx you get ise eval, but with digilent you have the option of buying a larger fpga Jan 03 14:01:51 <[g2]> then we'll have oto wait Jan 03 14:02:05 so maybe with the s3e, you'll be able to get more logic for a slight premium Jan 03 14:02:15 <[g2]> there are 2 configs Jan 03 14:02:23 <[g2]> The low end is 500K Jan 03 14:02:30 <[g2]> dunno about the other Jan 03 14:02:36 in the s3 case, $99 for the xc3s200 and $149 for the xc3s1000 Jan 03 14:02:43 and i think $124 for the xc3s400 or so Jan 03 14:02:52 xilinx only has the $99 s3 one Jan 03 17:50:17 how many here are on the xilinx s3e board w/l? Jan 03 17:52:08 <[g2]> not me, but it's interesting Jan 03 18:09:38 yes it is.
