Most. 5V was already dead. PCs had even changed to 3.3V.

You *are* DimBulb's brother. I never said anything of the kind. I said they
"sucked", which is a true statement.

From your previous posts, underlining is my emphasis.....

"No, hardware _that_works_ is always the priority."

"Altera crappy I/Os weren't _fixable_"


Whether they sucked or not is an _opinion_.

HEADLINE HEADLINE, Altera FPGA's IO performed as decribed in their data sheets!!!

Now, go back and read the context, if you can. Altera hardware did *not* work
in the application.

Yes, you've already demonstrated your illiteracy.
