As shown on the homepage of Xilinx, the new Virtex5 FXT is out now. Does anybody know whether there is development board featured with Virtex5 FXT available? Is that ML507, if so where is the info or data sheet for this board? Simon

We will also be releasing ML52x boards with Virtex-5 FXT devices on them, but this will not happen until late this year. Your local System I/O Specialist FAE has the new ML523-FXT boards in hand and should be able to give you a demo earlier than the production release date. Ed McGettigan -- Xilinx Inc.
