Update! Several people contacted us at the Fiberhood cooperative already and offered to help. Please join us, send us an email. morphle73 at g mail com. We now have a design for an active radar and are adding a passive radar feature, 4x 10

Yes, I ran it also on 68000 and PowerPC Macs. I preferred MacOS with all the MPW environment and tools on top, the GUI was much better: a full WYSIWYG text editor that also was the command line, so you could compose text, copy and paste and

Oh but there is a lot of physics science here [1,2] but indeed no rocket science [3]. FPGA's are just bad design by companies, no science. I showed your comment to the 20 year old drone detection experts in Ukraine and they laughed at

No, $0.01/kWh became possible in 2024 and is easy to achieve in 2026. But you have to follow the Fiberhood procedures based on our simulations and our electronics to actually achieve prices under one dollar cent per kWh. We reach this

1k chips for $4000 or $7000 at 180nm is (a lot) more expensive than 180nm at MOSIS or Europractice, I wound not call it reasonable, especially because the EDA software tools and PDK used are inferior.

Morphle Logic is asynchronous logic so there is no clock. At 110nm I measured when a transistor was switching the second transistor on its output. I can prove it, can you disprove it? A consistent 12Ghz signal cascade was (repeatedly) teste
