hi folks,

I have a very elderly Nallatech Strathnuey board that I might 
try to get going if I have e few spare hours.  It has two
old-original Spartan XC2S150 devices, two Xilinx flash ROMS,
a USB interface and a bunch of power regulators; it also
can plug into a PCI slot (I probably won't try to use that)
and various expansion connectors.

A few weeks ago I ping'd Nallatech about it, but got no 
response (it's hard to blame them for ignoring a request
about a ten-year-old board, but I was a bit disappointed
to get no reply at all).  So I wondered if anyone here 
has access to any relevant documentation and/or driver
software...  or, of course, the usual advice to stop
futzing around with museum stuff and move on to something
more sensible :-)

thanks in advance, and happy 2010,
--

PS - what's the correct way to write the past tense of
the verb "to ping"?  Pingued?  Pung?  I started with
"pinged" but that would probably be pronounced with a
soft G...

I hadn't looked at their webste for a while but
looks like they have
basically dropped anything that was a old product prior to their
takeover by Interconnect. I guess the new owners don't want the
baggage of the past. I used to look at the Strathnuey because it was a
competing product and even when it was a "current" board they made it
hard to get information without a full sales engagement.

Like in to ring? So ping would be ping pang pung?
We tried to ping him.
We pang him.
He has been pung.

Hmmm. Like the sound of that.

..but the verb ring in the context of marking birds or drawing a circle with a pen would
be 'ringed'
