There is a 4MHz Zip Chip on eBay right now.


hehe $102, and going up, and 5 days left...

Can someone please re-design a zipchip with a fpga (this time with more
than 8mhz).. ???

It looks like the price isn't going to be a problem.. :-)

While everyone seems to be getting off on the idea of putting lots
of fancy stuff into FPGAs, there is something that needs to be
considered...designing complex hardware is no easier (and arguably
harder) than designing complex software!

It's a lot more than a weekend project to design a Zip Chip.  ;-)
