Well, just for the fun of it...I did re-write the Ethernut 2.1b CPLD 
with verilog.  I still have not verified it yet (by burning the part on 
a board)...but here is a "pre release" version.  This is a complete copy 
of the project that was done with Webpack 9.1.

Hopefully, soon, I can give it a try.
