Can anybody tell me what kind of chip the rocket or zip chip are?
What process was used to create these chips?
Who is the real group behind both of these chips(or person, as rumors
describe)?
Any answers to these questions would be extremely helpful!
Thank you.

In fact, I have asked if anyone has either of these chips and how they're doing ?? I have not seen much (any) advertising for the ROCKETCHIP !! Does anyone know how much they are and where they can be purchased ?? Dave Quarles =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

He is currently in the > employ of Bits & Pieces Technology.. From my understanding the Zip Chip and the Rocket chip are two competing products. The Rocket Chip is a Bits & Pieces product. From my conversation with an engineer at WDC (Western Design Center) the Rocket Chip uses a WDC W65C02 core CPU in addition to fast (static) cache RAM and cache control logic all in one package. The Zip Chip uses similar technology but I don't know the details. ___________ ./ Tom Metro \_____________________________________________________________. | _ _ | | INET: tmetro@pro-angmar.uucp --/\/\_| |_| '- DigiTell, Inc. | | ARPA: crash!pnet01!pro-angmar!tmetro@nosc.mil Newton, MA | | UUCP: [sdcsvax nosc]!crash!pnet01!pro%angmar!tmetro | |_Alternate: tmetro@lynx.northeastern.edu__________________________________|
