I'm looking for Xilinx Foundation 3.1i or XACT 5 or 6 because I want
to use XC3000 FPGA. I know, that chips are very old but I don't want
scrap it.

Maybe someone has copy?

Thanks

There are a number of discussions about using antique FPGA parts in
this Usenet group.

Search for "antique Xilinx", "XACT", or "Hitting yourself on the head
with a mallet".

Consensus is that it is less expensive to recycle those parts
(properly) and then design & build an adapter that allows a cool-
runner to fit in the socket than it is to program one of them.

Cheers,
RK

Thank you, maybe you are rigth, the best wayt is to scrap it and
replace with new one.
