Great! You might want to poll the group of how many and which pins to make
intra board and how many and which to make I/O from the FPGA. I guess the
power traces should be doubled along the edge. I'll leave that up to you
guys.

I'll do it!

I'll order some of the 96-way connectors and a couple of FX2 chips tomorrow,

so I can check the footprints. I've already got the Cyclone II chips, but I 
need to get some of the configuration chips, as well.

I've got the 96-way straight and right-angle connectors in the Pulsonix 
library.

I'll use a four-layer board. There is no point in cutting corners and it'll 
be much easier to design, as well as cutting down on emissions. As most of 
the connections will be to the DIN connector, I'll save a lot of time by 
using the autorouter on them. I might as well put a 24.576 Mhz oscillator on

the board, feeding one of the FPGA clock inputs and brought out to the 
connector, to save having one on the ADC board, as well as a 50 MHz 
oscillator. I've had my Flex board running at 125 MHz, so we could got a lot

faster.
