RDM,

Re: "I was wondering what it meant by taped out."

My understanding is that this "old" term relates to when the chip database was
put on reel-to-reel data tape and sent to the mask shop where the reticles
are actually made. So in this case, the GDS data has been sent to have
reticles made (about a week) and then silicon will start.

Make It So,
Yousef
