$At that price, I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but
$does it include the auto-config logic?  If not, are you/they considering
$a board with the auto-config logic?  In discussions I've seen of Amiga
$board design, that always seems to come up, and it's a pretty standard
$chunk of logic.

Dave,  I thank you for keeping this active.  To answer your question, no
we are not going to add Auto-Config logic because while they all sound alike
each memory size has differend codes and almost all of the add-on circuits
that you can think of would need a different set of PAL codes.  In some
cases multipul Auto-Config circuits will need to be added.  For NES to have
committed a section of the  board to Auto-Config would mean that the end
user would be locked in to using only that circuit or not being able to
use a section of the board.  With the new PALs the complete Auto-Config could
be implemented within one and still leave room for other random glue logic.
