And then you go on to wonder why on earth I feel that I have been personally
attacked? I am "naieve" (over something I didn't propose) and "going about it
all wrong" (for asking "who's interested?"). Heck, I'm trained as a scientist
and I'm quite used to blunt discussions, but this is a bit much.

BTW, I can't enumerate all the problems, because I have no idea what they are.
I'm on step 0 of the process, and you want to be on step 1.

Also BTW, the FPGA problem you (and others) recount is probably why most FPGA
PCI cards come with sram on the card.

Which is why I asked who was interested in the problem. It's a simple question.
I'm in private discussions with a couple of people about this project, and I
assure you that I'm listening very carefully, and find what they have to say
very educational. I would probably find what you have to say useful, if you
wanted to talk about something other than the straw-man entire-algorithm-
on-fpga approach, which I doubt fits the resources of anyone but IBM.
