The ECL/GaAs/BiCMOS folks have >apparently discovered reasons why it can't be done. [... List of high-speed (> 50 MHz) devices deleted ...] Don't forget the ETA-10. We have 4 CMOS CPU's here at FSU running at 140 MHz.... I think that CDC is planning on using this technology in their recently announced Cyber 2000 "supermainframe". It may have failed in the market, but there is lots of pretty impressive hardware in the ETA-10.... -- John D.
