I remember Sir Clive Sinclair invested heavily in a
parrallel Misc type concept with serial bus on a wafer
in the late 80's and early 90's, he would probably be
interesrted in such technology (as he still hasn't got
it to market).

Still keep in mind: 
That 400Mhz-1Ghz cheap edram.  It might be of interest
to investrors in a future design.

While I was looking it up I came accross these:

Sub-Minature 333Mhz+ DDR

IBM's 210Ghz silicon transistor process.

If companies like this can pay the inventor of Pascal
1 Million dollers (from an article 20 years ago that
interveiwed and profiled Pascal inventor and Chuck) to
come and research with them, surely one of them could
pay Chuck to research with their high speed processes,
or to help him setup another company to do it. 
Imagine where AMD, IBM or Sony would be with the
resulting products?

Maybe he could become involved in some alternative
technology, say Optical computing.

Out of curiosity, are they somehow distantly related ?

Thanks.
