I was at a talk given by an Inmos employee last week... They claim that
they're on target for H1 delivery in March/April 1991 (whatever that means),
but as far as I'm aware they only have simulators so far, not a silicon
prototype. This desn't mean that they don't have any, just that they're not
talking about them. It also doesn't mean that Atari don't have a simulator
either. More than that I cannot say. I wonder if the Inmos bods who read this
group could enlighten us ?

I don't know what the status of the chip is.  I do know, however, that 
Ian Pearson, Inmos' R&D director, will be giving a talk on the chip at
the Microprocessor Forum in October.

If anyone would like more info on the Forum, send an email request to
deena@cup.portal.com with your paper mail address.  It will be held at
the Hyatt Regency at the S.F. airport on Oct 10 and 11.

Unfortunately this is complete nonsense.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What, that Atari has a prototype or that the H1 is a real product?
