Parallax Stratix Smartpack accessories?

Parallax, the company that makes those nifty little BASIC stamps, is (or was) selling off the last of the Cyclone and Stratix "Fast/Smartpack" boards. These are pretty utilitarian boards, with a custom serial programmer & configuration system, a serial line driver, a clock oscillator, and a handful of LED's.

They would have been great for embedding in projects had they not been so ridiculously expensive. It's a shame, really; as I liked the minimalist approach of just provididing I/O and basic configuration / clock circuitry.

At any rate, I bought one of the closeout Stratix Smartpacks with a EP1S10 on eBay for $76.

I'm curious to know if any add-on boards were developed for these? Perhaps a "mainboard" with a bit of RAM, ethernet, etc?

I guess Chip got much too involved with his longterm dream (the custom chip - Propeller) that they dropped the FPGA boards from the priduct line.

on their website there is info at all any more about the smartpacks so I am afraid the ebay auction was just occasional - i was to buy it but slept through - I need some Stratix based board (anythig with stratix on it) for some verifications, the smart pack have just right but I didnt get, so you can have fun instead :)

dont think there are any accessories made, so you just have a board and nothing else
