Grrr... They *really* need to make this extremely clear in the product
literature. From the TS-7800 data sheet: "The TS-7800 also features a
12,000 LUT on-board FPGA which is user-programmable via Linux software
and ..."
Other than that, the board seems pretty nice. I probably should have
bought the TS-7300, but the literature for the 7800 was too compelling
to ignore.

Hmmm.. I'd like to be optimistic about this statement, but having
been somewhat burned I'm finding it difficult...

Ouch! Only one here, but then misery still loves company. Sigh...
