According to Memec's web site, this board costs $195 and not $149.

Where can you buy this board for $149?
The Xilinx Virtex II Pro sounds like a very powerful FPGA with a Powerful IBM 400MHz PowerPC processor built-in!

This should be more than enough for a LCD DSO.
A board with such a powerful FPGA and onboard LCD, USB, RS232 etc. for under $200 sounds like a bargain.
The kit could be used for other experiments than the DSO too, you could just attach another expansion PCB instead of the DSO analog frontend.
But maybe this soloution will still be too expensive compared to the DIY soloution with PCB, USB, MCU and a smaller FPGA?
Are you talking about this board:Ace-X said:Why not to use ready development board? For example, many times discussed here Virtex2Pro board from Memec. 149$, V2Pro4 FPGA (more than 500 Kbits of internal BlockRAM), embedded PowerPC processor, USB and RS232 ports. It will allow to forget about all this troubles with PCB and soldering and concentrate on real DSO design.
