From: Francesco on 18 Mar 2010 10:03 Hi all, seems that Xilinx has decided to have only one distributor... and NuHorizons seems out of business. Does anybody know the reason behind? I believed was a good idea to have have the opportunity to buy from 2 distributors.

They did ship same day, but the UPS just takes forever... Antti

Xilinx was something like 35% of their business. It was apparently a shock to them. I suppose this is a good time to hire unemployed FPGA guys... I might do that. John
