I'm not sure that there are any groups that talk about low level 
hardware issues, but I'm interested in having someone point me 
to a good overview paper on the different types of ICs (eg. LSI, 
VLSI, ASIC, etc) as well as how/why they differ and so on.  I'm 
also interested in the differences down at the design and fabrication 
level, if anyone has any good references (or even more ideal; online 
data they could send me!) (though spec sheets and similar techie
stuff would be marginally useful at best).

I'm specifically interested in ASICs too, especially regarding the 
ASIC design and simulation process, but getting a better understanding 
of all the different types of ICs would be a good thing too!

    Thanks greatly for your help!!  I'll summarize if there's interest.
