Not an ASIC, but an FPGA version. Still needs a bit of finishing. A major issue is 
that the Spartan 2 series of FPGAs are the last of the ones be Xilinx that  have 5 
V tolerent I/Os. The Spartan 2E and newer do not  have 5 Volt tolerent I/O. The 
Spartan 2 series also are more costlier and less available now than the Spartan 3 
and Virtex sereies of FPGAs.
