He said it sounded interesting and asked if I had any clue as to how many people would be interested so I conducted an informal poll.

If Hans could be encouraged to spin more boards or release the design files then this could be a possibility.

If I could order two boards to bump the count upwards I would, but what would I do the the second one Smile

The latest Flash5 programmer is about $51 from DigiKey, which would take care of the programming part. It would not be difficult to get some boards made if the Gerber files were available. That just leaves assembly. Other than the FPGA, the board looks pretty sparse from the pictures I've seen. Are there parts on the other side of the board (other than headers)?

By the way, if you want to see a really interesting story of someone who runs a one-man FPGA gadget company, have a look at the link below. The Updates section gives the full rundown on getting boards made, parts ordered, and boards assembled and tested by a contract manufacturer. All in volumes of low hundreds - which of course disqualifies the FRAM71!
