Subject: [oc] Development board for OpenSPARC
Check out The Dini group, http://www.dinigroup.com
They have a range of boards based on Xilinx/Altera, and for being in the
"ASIC prototyping" arena their prices are quite affordable (the cost of
their boards are like "the cost of the FPGAs plus some margin", as
opposed to some of their competitors that charge an order of magnitude
more).
Compared to the competition they are quite much "do it yourself", ie
they don't supply a lot of flashy software to help you make the boards
do something useful.
Our neighbours Hardi electronics, http://www.hardi.se, also have some V4
boards that probably would work for you.
A good starting point for finding these and others is Synplicity's web:
