Paul ... My understanding of ASICs is that they can be designed to replace a circuitboard by incorporating the functions of many components"monolithically" on a single chip. This process is expensive to design but once design costs have been paid, chips are much cheaper to crank out than are PCBs. See the fit? Multek is making lots of the same board and Orbit says "Let's make this monolithic". Then DIIG and the company who the stuff is being made for offer to sell these chips, splitting the profits, to the outside world. Could that be the synergy they were seeking? The scenario is just a hunch of mine but maybe that was the plan.
