I asked them, but haven't heard a reply yet. If they aren't doing it, I could 
probably manage a small scale production myself.


EETimes' cover story is on the Stratix-III and a story about Altera that 
explains why things improved so rapidly for them in recent years:

Listning to various EEs I get the feeling that is Altera is under-appreciated 
and there is a lot of inertia to be overcome.
