Hi Alex,

which of these system would you recommend

digilent
http://www.digilentinc.com/info/S3Board.cfm

>Xilinx 3 Starter kit http://www.xilinx.com/products/spartan3/s3boards.htm

<========  The two boards above look identical - are they?


For an extra $50 I could wait for this one to be available in the fall 
as I have some other projects on the go right now

On a side note ...

Also I found this board - which would also make a pretty good base for a 
clone. Add the micro module and you are up to $250 but it would have 
about everything you would need. Add a small color LCD and instant 
portable II ... 10 cm x 16cm - 256k sram, 512K flash, ps/2 ports , usb 
transceiver, vga, compact flash, audio, joystick, IR .etc
