ROTFLMAO, Peter see's right thru us. ;-) But seriously, the FPGA does seem like the ideal place for such a module. On chip com with the chosen stepgenerator removes that particular bandwidth limit. I could also see it doubleing the size of the FPGA needed so its not going to be free. I think, not knowing the first thing about writing FPGA code. :-( [...] Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
