University Looking to Update Old Hardware

I did say it was a first semester digital class (i.e. where students are introduced to AND gates for the first time) and if what you said was meant to be a little condescensding I don't appreciate it! I think the skills they learn (hopefully learn) debugging a malfunctioning circuit pays out large dividends in the long run. Basic problem solving skills is something most people have to learn and are not born with. I do agree, though, and would like to see more higher end projects even in our later FPGA class, but how many students right out of school who have spent 2-3 years learning all the basics of EE can do something like "get a SoC system up and running in a few days" and the logic to connect it all if they haven't learned the basics of logic?! But if you have a board you think we should consider I would listen to that.
