You are absolutely correct when you stated the head of that company praised the SHBoom.. Carl Pick, chairman and chief executive officer: "The PSC1000 is the key component which will allow new GENROCO modules to execute firmware over 20 times faster than current offerings, allowing us to readily scale the technology from present gigabit to future gigabyte per second bandwidths." GENROCO considered many microprocessor chips, such as Digital Semiconductor's StrongArm and Intel's i960, before deciding on Patriot Scientific's stack architecture in conjunction with the FORTH development system. "The PSC1000 runs high-bandwidth, real-time applications faster and more efficiently than direct instruction chips," said Pick. "We even compared real-time code on a 500 MHz, several-hundred-dollar Alpha chip against the PSC1000, and in most of the important cases for us, the PSC1000 was faster. Patriot's technology was exactly what we needed to ensure the performance and flexibility of our next-generation controllers." Makes one wonder how they couldn't market this chip?? Or, the even improved Ignite?... It just feels like such a waste. I believe Blum did finish many tools under his watch... a 9 micron Ignite would be unbelievable Makes one wonder.. Turley.. What's the story!!?? Why don't you give us an interview or a nice paper on Ignite/Inflame on your website
