Frank,

I guess I will have to call myself "One the other John's" since there 
are already several John's posting to this group.

I checked the Terasic website and located the Cyclone II - Altera DE1 
Board for $150.00USD + Post.
Is that the correct FPGA to put the coco3 into ?

Is there currently a specific website to download the coco3fpga software 
from and are there ongoing
updates posted for it from time to time ?

After the holidays, I am very interested in obtaining one of these and 
begin seeing what I can do with it.
After two years of dealing with medical issues and expensive home repair 
issues I am ready to treat
myself to something enjoyable.

That you for the suggestions.
