If you have some "spare time(tm)" would you mind sending me what you had 
on the 300K version ? I'm just about starting with it (got my 300k board 
yesterday), and would love to get the 300k versio  working.

I don't need any network (just serials) for my project, so probably I 
could fit it in.

Clueless here ;-)

I tried the WebPack, but never got it working for my projects. So I use
ISE BaseX. And don't like to spend the big bucks for the ISE foundation,
just to program spartan chips :(
