Based on my experience with the Xilinx Spartan XC3S1000 (Digilent
Spartan-3 Board) I would guess that you could just about squeeze an
entire AppleCrate onto one. And the communications channel could be
much faster than that used on an AppleCrate.

Actually, my net wanderings took me (back) to the AppleCrate site a few days ago and I was thinking exactly along the same lines - purely an academic mental exercise though, I have no intention of implementing it.

Actually I was musing about having some ridiculous number of Apples running in parallel doing some massively parallel task like Mandelbrot sets... ;)
