[Coco] Learning CPU Architecture and Digital Design

[Bob Devries]

Hi Mark,

The article is the first of a series:

The December issue has an overview of what a FPGA is, as well as the 
schematic of the board that Elektor is producing.
The January issue will discuss the configuration, as well as a discussion of 
how to install the Xilinx  "ISE Webpack software"
I buy the magazine from the newsagent, so the December issue is the 
"current" one.

Regards, Bob Devries
