The silicon that we were shown was the T9000 alpha, with _only_ the VCP
missing.  The VCP/virtual channels already work and the tester for that
was produced months ago.

The photo mask of the processor dye for the T9000 beta was shown: this
had the VCP present and at the current time, the silicon for this has
been available for a few weeks now and is in testing.

[All this information is correct, I hope.  INMOS people - what do you
say?]
