tiny Spartan 3 module?

Does anyone sell a very tiny board with a Spartan 3 (or 3E, 3A, 3AN)
and regulators to run from a 3.3V supply?  I only need a handful of
3.3V CMOS I/O pins, but the whole module needs to be really tiny, so I can
cram it into an existing device that has little room to spare.  At most,
it could be about 50 mm square, and should be very low profile.

If nothing like that is available, I'll design one using an XC3S400-4TQ144
(or perhaps XC3S250E-4TQ144), but I'd like to avoid spending time on that if
possible.

Thanks!
Eric

Hi Eric,
There's a bloke (John Adair) that posts on here whose company sells stuff 
like that.
http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/component_replacements/craignell.html

A little longer than 50mm, but less area than 50x50. They may be a little 
damp when you get them.

Cheers, Syms.

Looks like it may be suitable.  It's disconcerting that the "Shop" link
goes to a web store that doesn't appear to actually offer the product.
I'll send them email.

How about these...

Looks good.  I'll just have to remove the connectors to get the
low profile I need.

Thanks!

Eric,

although it is a Germany based company

http://www.siphec.com/

may be worthwhile to have a look at

Best regards

And also the Zefant boards, especially the Zefant Nano:

The shop will show these modules when the new batch comes in shortly
and we have stock built and tested. The first batch were sold out
before we could put it up on the shop. The shop website is undergoing
a major overhaul currently and a few things will be tidyed up.

The sister product Drigmorn1 will also appear shortly after that with
a slightly different pin arrangement.

As always our engineering sub-site (maintained by the engineers and
not sales) will always show products first due to the speed which we
can place information on that section without rebuilding databases and
so on. The shop does tend to lag a bit so please do ask if in doubt.

For those buying our offices and labs have not been flooded although
many places too far away have been. We have had problems getting the
team into the office due to a lack of driveable roads but that is
currently improving substantially. Couriers are also getting back to
normal and providing we don't get much more rain I think we will be
running nearly normally by early next week.

Could you not just list everything, and simple put a note "out of stock"
instead ..?, otherwise one is lead to think that you simple just don't
have it at all.

At the moment our shop will let you buy an item even if not in stock so we 
have held off putting them there. Once it is listed we don't tend to remove 
from the listing and just show zero stock. We are looking at ways to improve 
this and even to possibly to show expected delivery but it's not there yet.
