I would like to know if the Sundance SMT390 (ADC Module) is compatible with Altera MAXII CPLD (MAXII-1270N)??? I really need a replacement for the ADC on my board because it's too slow; it's an...

Bitec is offering a SantaCruz prototype board, that could be used to mount the ADC, or you have to design your own board.
