Another great post from RB: agiledit - I am not an employee of Patriot, I am simply a very long term investor and have owned stock in the company for several years now. As far as Sun buying the company I would suppose at some point that would be a possibility. My guess is at this point they would want us to do all of the technical work on the chip and improve its pedigree first. They may also be waiting to see if the embedded java market will support such an acquisition. Remember they have already spent (and lost) millions on the R&D relating to their own java chip, the PicoJava. I can tell you they are well aware of our technology and are in fact using it in their JINI development boards. Whether this will lead to an eventual buy out or equity position is anyone's guess. One more factor to consider is that several corporations such as IBM, Fujitsu, and LG Semicon have licensed the core of their picoJava design in the hopes of creating their own version of the chip. This has not happened but they may want to wait a bit to see if anyone is able to successfully put their implementation in silicon. IMHO it will never happen because they have already lost the game before it began. The PSC1000 not only implements java natively but is less than half the price with much more functionality. Our design is actually a multi-purpose processor optimized for C, C++, and FORTH (all object oriented languages), something the original pico was not designed to do. Other than scaling down the size of the chip from .5u to .35u and eventually .25u and adding some cache, there probably isn't a whole lot left to do to make it faster or more functional. We have a winner here, we just have to be patient and wait for the market to play catch up. I did it with EDIG and I will do it with PTSC. Cheers.
