Was there ever an ARM version? I am wondering how hard it would be to
port to Raspberry Pi...

No, the FPGA pins are neither 5V, nor 5V-tolerant.
The last Xilinx FPGA that had 5V-tolerant I/O was the Spartan II.
Xilinx does still make CPLDs that are 5V-tolerant, the XC95nnXL
series.

The serial port is 3.3v according to the website. I haven't attempted to use
the serial port or the GPIO pins, but I believe they are all 3.3 volts for the
Spartan 3 series. Check the data sh

The revived 2013 re-issue of Niklaus Wirth's Oberon system is a joy to behold.
If you've never heard of Oberon before, it is a minimalistic education-oriented
language and operating system designed after Wirth had taken a (second)
sabattical at PARC in the 80's.
