content: Looking to buy a few FPGA kits, I rather like Altera so far, I tried Xilinx but not too much of a fan of the IDE, may still be interested though.PCI / miniPCIe FPGA boards are of great interest especially.MAX 10 up to Arria II or whatever ones I can use the lite edition of Quartus with.

content: This is probably not the answer you want... but I look for PCI testers on ebay.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-3-in1-PCI-PCI-E-LPC-PC-Laptop-Analyzer-Tester-Diagnostic-Post-Test-Card-HJ-/232036199408They are dirt cheap and some have a jtag header. That one has an old MAX3000 on it.

content: An ubuntu linux vm should support ISE nicely.I kinda like special purpose development VMs, as clunky as they are, they can be setup just how the software needs them, and don't get mucked up when you install/uninstall unrelated tools.otherwise:https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/62380.html
