If it's available, what's the proper way to get hold of one? Do I need to contact my local sales guy for a development board? We're a big account but I don't want to bother with a PO in this "belt tightening" era so I'll just buy the darned thing myself and use it at work and home. Best way to do this is the online store. Where else *should* I go?

Money is in the budget for this year, but now it looks like I'll have to go through the budget process again after the first of the year. I wish Xilinx understood the end of year money cycle and would go ahead and let you order. -- Joe Chisolm Phoenix Arizona USA

You are right, the starter kit link just takes you to the online store and you cannot order there. -- Joe Chisolm Phoenix Arizona USA

FYI the Xilinx store has been updated with a Feb 2006 date for the s3e starter kit. Ironically the Xilinx front page has a link to 'Buy Your Full-featured Spartan-3E Starter Kit Today'.

Top right under "Tech Spotlight" "Buy Your Full-featured Spartan-3E Starter Kit Today" The big graphic block has the Spartan-3 test with 3e production quote. My grumbling is loud. I didn't get any toys for Christmas this year. I'm wondering if a Spartan-4 starter kit (if ever there will be such a thing) would best be produced by one of us newsgroup folks rather than waiting for the dragging feet. Like many others, I can deal with ECNs on the first boards out of the chute so I'm lost with respect to the delay.
