[Coco] CoCo3 FPGA project analog boards

[Zippster]

Hi Dave,

I think that is correct.  Maybe Gary can verify.

Digikey has about 70 of DE1s in stock for $156.25 + shipping.  Which
I believe beats Terasic’s price when you factor in their somewhat expensive shipping.

Of course, Dave Philipsen may be able to supply one as well.

Tim Linder is helping out with getting top plates made.  These should turn out as
really nice looking finished packages!  :)
