Fri Jan 22 02:26:09 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel: you can turn up as many as you like and mount'em yourself.
Fri Jan 22 02:26:03 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: it isn't like they're being used for something useful anywhere else.
Fri Jan 22 02:25:45 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: surely we can turn up eight of them.
Fri Jan 22 02:25:21 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel: the other thing is that my understanding is that the 6216 was never produced in serious quantity
Fri Jan 22 02:24:10 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel: fpga is pretty much never mounted in a socket (the low end xilinx cpld, e.g., 95xx series, do come in plcc - but high pin count makes this a bitch)
Fri Jan 22 02:22:58 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: Isn't the whole purpose of an FPGA that I can program it in place?
Fri Jan 22 02:22:18 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> can I unmount it afterwards without breaking it?
Fri Jan 22 02:21:58 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: and what, load in a binary?

Fri Jan 22 02:21:36 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: so how do I run a program on one of these things without a socket connection?
Fri Jan 22 02:20:28 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: I do not.
Fri Jan 22 02:20:18 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> "send me photos of output"
Fri Jan 22 02:20:17 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel: you do understand that these parts don't socket, right ?
Fri Jan 22 02:20:03 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: to vendor: "if this is the real deal it should be able to run this program [include ascii file here], if it fries, I'm not buying it."
Fri Jan 22 02:19:20 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel: how on earth do you propose to do THAT ?
Fri Jan 22 02:19:11 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: it should be possible to test them before purchase, right?
Fri Jan 22 02:18:54 UTC 2016 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: How many, exactly?
