What should we call it? Hmmmm..... The "Coffee Virtual Machine"? The "Espresso Virtual Machine"? The "Cappuccino Virtual Machine"? - Gotta be something like that, eh? :-) As long as we insist that it is an entirely brandy-new concept that has never been done before and that we dreampt it up right here today, it ought to catch on like wildfire. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ wrote in message news:4Awi7.19571$sa.10111360@news1.rdc1.sfba.home.com... > Is this a suitable job for FPGAs or such?
