XC9500 is end-of-lifeing in October this year, Brane2.
Ordinary CPLDs get pricey after 144 macrocells. MachXO2 is affordable even at 640 or more...
That's why engineers switch to FPGAs instead.

As for issues with installation of EDA software, could we go off-line for this please, unless the EDA software in question runs on a QL?

Thanks,

Well, I think I took this little exploration as far as I could by myself. I can't get video to work properly and the fix requires some learning that I don't have the time for right now.

I'll set everything aside and poke at it again in the fall.

Now, I should get on with assembling these backplanes and battery holders! I'm SUCH a procrastinator.
