From: Jonathan Bromley on 27 Dec 2009 05:12 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).

From: John Adair on 27 Dec 2009 06:53 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.

Hmmm.
