Re: [oc] MPGA, open source meta-FPGA

Hi Reinoud,

Very cool!

I hope it works well.  I have always been disappointed that the real-time
fully configurable Xilinx chips (6500 series maybe?) were discontinued, but
after seeing your project hopefully you will be able to turn the big virtex
parts into opensource high density/reasonable speed/real-time fully
reconfigurable parts!

best regards,
Jamie Morken
