I missed <4577@amd70.UUCP> <6307@lanl-a.UUCP> in net.micro, but
chalk up one more person interested in programmable logic devices
(and most other hardwareish things). Why not an analog of net.analog
(oh, the irony...): net.digital?

I'm all for a digital newsgroup, if anyone's counting votes. Brian Doody Univ. of Waterloo Ontario

I would also like to join a hardware engineering newsqroup. Lew Doll (abo@pucc-h) Purdue University Computing Center

How about using net.arch until a need is shown? If there is a lot of volume, we can always create a net.arch.digital or some such.

I would also like to put my vote in for this groups creation.

How do we get a hardware newsgroup started? It seems to me there is a lot of interest out there in netland.

Why net.arch?? What does it have to do with electronic hardware?
ken@turtlevax.UUCP (Ken Turkowski) (05/20/84)
There is quite a bit of difference between discussions of digital
components and computer architecture. I second the request for
net.digital.

net.arch is full of abstract arguements about pyramids and the like, hence I do not subscribe as I am primarily interested in the availability and performance of components. Other people in this place worry about higher level things. Almost all the hardware topics come up in net.micro and net.lan. I would read net.arch.electronics but am not prepared to sift through an unrelated group to find the hardware articles. net.hardware or net.micro.electronics please. ray herman Glasgow Univ. Comp.
