There's one open FPGA toolchain out there, and it's for Lattice iCE40 FPGAs.

Ok, scratch that, I was looking at the http://oberonstation.x10.mx/ site.

Xilinx Ise also has run on Linux for at least 5 years now.
The webpack version is free, and supports up to fairly large
devices.

Perhaps Oberon required something faster than the 70ns - 85ns tRC read
cycle / tWC write cycle times supported by the Micron cellular RAM
running in asynchronous mode on the Nexys 2 - presumably because the
data path is only 16 bits?
That said, most "retro" computing would, I expect, be perfectly
