More good reason to believe Sun is INDEED using our development
board when showcasing java on silicon:

I had contacted with Patriot Scientific to use PSC1000 in february, 1999.
In their catalog, sun's javaOS has already been ported for PSC1000 and
vxWorks were being ported for that chip.
But I've not yet heard that sun's javaOS runs on picojava chip except sun's
demo.
So I don't think that The rumor has no reason.
