I posted here before and got excellent responses,
could you knowledgeable 
people also answer a simple questuion below?  If you reply by email, REMOVE 
"SPAMNOMORE" in capital letters repeated in my address twice (edit address 
manually)!!


We need to make sure Xilinx VirtexProII FPGA boards have a PCMCIA interface 
(hardware) and software support, and whether inteface is a regular one 
usable with standard IEEE802.11 cards (WIRELESS LAN modules).  The two 
boards (need info for BOTH!!) are:
ML 300 and ML310
One is just a board another is a complete development kit, I am not sure 
yet.

I did contact Xilinx first, but here's what happened:
At first Xilinx engineers said PCMCIA is not supported, but then came back 
to me saying this:
ML300 board: the PCMCIA supported, whereas PCI is supported only with much 
more effort on our side.  ML310 board: The opposite (i.e. the PCI is 
supported, while the PCMCIA is not fully supported.)
Thus we're completely confused and need to double check these answers, 
before comitting time/money.  I CAN"T CONTACT THEM ANYMORE FOR THE SAME 
QUESTION AS MY XILINX PERSONAL ID HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR THE SAME 
QUESTION, I'd appreciate if you help.

Hi Mark,

1) ML300 is considered "being phased out" - people had trouble attempting to
buy it. So its possible out of the question anyway as you simple may not get
it at all any more.

as of your specific question for PCMCIA support - I would say expect about 1
month of engineerig time from your site, no matter what FPGA platform you
choose (ML300 or ML310). Maybe some other vendor has something that requires
less time for you to accomplish what you need.

Greetings Antti,

We do have one ML300 and can easily get 5 units, we're a University - this 
board is supposedly cheaper and we're not "phasing it out" for our 
project.... :)  I might be wrong.

Thanks for any info you provide, I relay all these Newsgroups postings to 
our group professor/leader and fellow PhD stuidents (without disclosing your 
emails). 

P.S> Mark Levitski is a bogus for security (on
Newsgroups), my real last 
name is similar but not exact. 

Mark,

Please go to the website, and look up the University program, and make 
contact with them.
