Curious similarity with our VSAC agreement. They give their core design away, we give our core away. I think it would cost alot more for a company to develop a chip from scratch than to build one around an existing core. All smoke and mirrors if you ask me.

More good reason to believe Sun is INDEED using our development board when showcasing java on silicon: Re: Sun opens picoJava and SPARC design sources Author: jockey <jockey@aromasoft.com> Date: 1999/03/05 Forum: comp.lang.java.machine sponsored by: more headers author posting history -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
