Found this product:
"BittWare’s XUPSVH is an UltraScale+ VU33P/35P FPGA-based PCIe card.  The UltraScale+ FPGA helps these demanding applications avoid I/O bottlenecks with integrated High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) tiles on the FPGA that support up to 8 GBytes of memory at 460 GBytes/sec."
Each fpga device requires a unique bitstream. Think about it.


Sorry, what is "unique bitstream"?  You mean need to do unique coding for each FPGA model to do mining same coin?  Shocked

Yea my take it is like a bios for the fpga card that tells it exactly what to do, so each one is unique for every fpga.

kind of like saying gpu's are a sledge hammer where a more basic set of instructions can be sent to it to take a swing at anything.
In a fpga it would more like programming a laser to etch out exactly what you want resulting in a more precise operation.
