Hi Lars,
They enhanced their site. I assume those TechXclusives were rubbish, so they
got binned. Some of them got recycled into white papers. I found this by
guessing the url...

http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/white_papers.htm

If you insist on reading the old versions, try here...

HTH., Syms.

p.s. For those whose sarcasm detection is limited, the TechXclusives aren't
rubbish. As for the decision to ditch them...

Ge thanks! Saved a lot of looking around!

Well, my opinion is easy to guess... Lots of gems in there!

Aaaaarg!!! I was after "Six Easy Pieces (Non-Synchronous Circuit
Tricks)" and it seems that didn't make it to the White Papers. And the
web archive link lacks the images :(
I guess I will have to ruffle through my stack of old "useful
printouts" for that one, if it is there... Not high-tec stuff but
useful to explain basic priciples to beginners.

Thanks anyway, and Austin and Peter; if you read this, please use your
influence to correct some of the obvious mistakes made by the web-
people at Xilinx!
