This is the dev board they're using (a Nexys 4 at $320): http://store.digilentinc.com/nexys-4-ddr-artix-7-fpga-trainer-board-recommended-for-ece-curriculum/ http://store.digilentinc.com/nexys-4-ddr-artix-7-fpga-traine... I imagine the FPGA alone, without the ancillary stuff will be somewhat cheaper (nope, I checked...not much cheaper...DigiKey has the Xylinx Artix-7 in single quantity for $256). I'm not an expert on these things, so maybe I'm looking at the wrong parts. I just recall looking up what it would cost to run it today would cost, and thinking, "I'll just wait until they ship it all in a nice C65 style case". Here's the discussion about the size of it: http://mega65.net/fpga-development-boards http://mega65.net/fpga-development-boards
