1. Are there any new projects that use the Star Wars mathbox?

2. Are there any new projects being contemplated that will use the Star Wars
   mathbox.

3. Are there any new projects that use the Battlezone/Tempest Mathbox?

ARE THERE ANY NEW PROJECTS?

1.	Not to my knowledge.

2.	not to my knowledge.

3.	Not bloody likely. (considering the magnificent rewards I got
	for supporting it on Tempest, I am a bit reluctant to do so
	for any other project. Also I could almost certainly do a
	better job today with the TMS 320, and not get any shit about
	"old hardware" (not eligible for bonus).

	At this time our team has no plans of using the Math Box.

	HUH???? The only patent I know of on the old math-box
is my patent on the "multiple simultaneous use of bit fields".
,(oops) a feature of the old math-box which I sincerely hope you
were not forced to use in the Star-Wars one.
				Even more perplexed-?
