Hi guys
I've had an eye on some new stuff that may interest.
- http://www.microdisplay.com

These are silicon chips with LCD displays matarial incorporated on the 
silicon.  On the backplane itself can be incorpoarted all supporting 
driver electronics for a full SVGA display, and "microprocessors and 
memory" a good target for I21, F21.  The company is small and probably  
eager to find partners.  There are others but I believe that this one 
has better potential with, I think, their own small Silicon display 
foundary.
Incorporated with a reflective mirror type display a tablet computer 
could be made.

This is Socket-X, a large 303-ball BGA chip socket that goes on 
motherboards (Micron at moment) that has all the interfaces for Socket-X 
3-D chips.  The Rendition Socket-X chip has embedded video memory, Risc 
processor and 3D/video circuits.  Good technology for F/I 21 to fit on 
or just as a graphics processor for Mup21 ;).
VMLABS have designed a new videogame platform, Project X, for 
incorporation into DVD plays, replacing the existing chipset at simular 
cost.  This would enable them to get a wider user base for little 
effort, something that would have been possible years ago with Forth 
Chips.  http://www.vmlabs.com
That's all I can rember I've had another lecturer in and out of here 
talking to me while I've been trying to rember things, and this software 
has been crashing so I forgot the rest of the stuff.
Thanks
Wayne.
