Re: Leftover RTX2000 Chips

[rw20@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I hesitate to say this, but I have two RTX chips.  One 2000 and one 2010 
--- neither are rad-hard.  I got them from Harris about 8 years ago as 
evaluation chips, but never used them.  Who new they would be so rare.  
How hard would it be to make a board for them?
