I have bare CPLD circuit cards that I can send out for shipping cost, the CPLD
is about ~2.00 its in a 44 lead PLCC. I could make preprogrammed version if
anyone wants just chips or just post the source if anyone wants to hack it.
The source is basically just bits and pieces copy-pasted from the HostMot2
encoder counter with a few added wigglers and twirlers.
for a standalone chip version I'd add a ring or R/C oscillator so it does not
need a separate clock
I think I only have one assembled CPLD card An I promised that to Steve B
