Hi, are there chips that can be done quite quickly that have a market?

So a 555 has no market as there are cheaper options. Chips need

to be tested and packaged.

But maybe there is an expensive chip that is not longer manufactured

while there is a demand.

I can only think of some IEEE488 controllers made by National Instruments

for ISA bus, but there are USBtoIEEE488 adapters around based on
micro controllers which seem to be good enough.

We need a chip that is lacking if it is missing it is a show stopper for

some business / manufacturing machine.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ludwig

i can emphasise that getting the word out to as many people as you
can, and asking those friends to also pass on the link to their
friends, reminding them as much as possible with as much "new stuff"
as possible, on as many possible channels as possible, is the way to
get a campaign to succeed.

david if you and the team can think of "new things to announce every
few days", that gives you a reasonable (and non-repetitive) excuse to
hit the communications network again and again, without irritating
people immensely (and successfully getting through the
social-media-overload phenomenon).
