Hi net-friends, Could you please send me addresses of NN chip and accelerator card manufacturers. Any help would be welcome and very much appreciated. I'll post a summary if there is sufficient interest. Thanks in advance. -- --- Guszti Bartfai --- Mail: Victoria University, Comp. Sci., P.O. Box 600, Wellington, NZ.

Hello NN-friends again, Some 10 days ago I dropped a request on addresses of NNchip/board manufacturers, which seems to have been popular only with people asking for similar info. Sorry folks, who have been anxiously waiting for the summary, but all I can do now is to be a bit more specific this time. So, could anyone please send me the addresses of - HNC (Hecht-Nielsen Corporation) Inc. - TRW - Micro Devices - ... (other possible developers, manufacturers) Thanks for any response in advance, again. (I hope I can post a summary this time:-) -- --- Guszti Bartfai --- Mail: Victoria University, Comp. Sci., P.O.
