The FPGA prop1 is a lot of gates. You can fit two Z80s in much less space
than one prop.
Post by Andrew BinghamParallax has not made any announcement to this effect at all, so I think
it's just an issue with Farnell. Parallax has always said they intend to
support Propeller for 10+ years beyond "now"....
In fact since their first version of "Propeller 2" failed (too much power
draw when converted from FPGA to ASIC) they are working on a "new"
"Propeller 2" that is almost done that is based more closely on Propeller
1. That is nearly close to having the design done and ready for testing in
FPGA.
In addition the original Propeller 1 Verilog has been released Open Source
- allowing for more cogs, more IO pins, etc in FPGA form.
So I think it's safe to say Propeller is here to stay.

Post by Nikolay DimitrovHi guys,
Just saw that Farnell doesn't offer anymore the P8X32A mcu. Do you know
anything about this? My gut feeling is that all good parts die first.
Let's hope I'm wrong this time.
Regards,
Nikolay
