Well!
Sorry to see RTX bite dust ... a fine piece of Forth engine
she are, too.
Talked to Charles Johnsen (whose name I misspelled in my Nov.
article in "Embedded Systems Programming" magazine, despite being
a close personal acquaintance of Charles' for three years now) today
about this situation.
Charles is still convinced that microprocessors should become,
in the near future, designed for a particular project the way circuit
boards are currently designed for a particular project.
Says he'll have a Plessis FLA exemplar of his MISC-17 stack
machine by January.
And I'm sure that Bros. Phil and Rick will find mischief to
keep their hands in! How's the WISC coming, Phil? And Rick, keep
us all posted.

If Harris fails to make certain payments for WISC licensing (which seems likely under the circumstances), ownership of everything reverts to WISC. This includes two patent applications (one for the 16-bit WISC and one for the 32-bit WISC) that we have received notices of allowability for. As many of you know, Harris has had a single-chip improved version of the WISC CPU/32 on its shelf for over a year now... It is unlikely that Glen Haydon and I will once again start beating on the doors of major semiconductor vendors to license WISC. However, if someone comes beating on our door we're certainly willing to see what we can work out! Phil Koopman koopman@greyhound.ece.cmu.edu Arpanet 2525A Wexford Run Rd.
