Right. FPGA sizes and speeds are absolutely not a limiting factor when

Getting that to fly in an FPGA however may be the
problem as you start
running into clock speed limits. And an ASIC suffers from the lack of
startup cash.
I've seen a 64 channel interface fit into a single Spartan 2E that was
small enough to be supported free Xilinx Webpack. Since then, the
current web pack supports spartan3s that are bigger and faster than that
project used.
