Bob Puppo designed one too?  There was *yet another* guy who was trying to
do something similar at the time that I was doing mine too.  His
idea/approach was very different from mine, so the performance would have
been very different.  I don't know if he actually did build it, though.

Does anyone know how Bob's design would have worked and how much it affected
CPU performance?  Was it sold?
