Contact a distributor that can find out-of-stock parts, eg., America II Electronics. http://www.americaii.com/ 2. Contact a company that makes chip adapters, eg., http://www.arieselec.com/products/overview-correct-a-chip-sockets-adapters.htm The "problem" with a chip adapter is that you need to "adapt" the FPGA and its configuration source. 3. Determine the cost of a new board spin. You may find that (3) is not really as bad as you think. Cheers, Dave
