I found a small problem with the math board solder mask and had it fixed.
We have decided to release the board.  I still want to check the silk screen.
I have to do this with EGS because I am having the film plotted in Loveland.

A problem came up with the MID_BUS timing on MC-F.  The delay line will have
to be made longer.  The MC-F budget is not what I was told.  The CA may also
have a problem.  One problem with going with a longer delay line is that
the round trip delay could be longer than the pulse going in.  I have started
to simulate this case and Jim is going to look at it on the PC board.

Hitachi now plans to have qual samples of 25ns 2K x 8 SRAM's in November.
They plan to send us 100 samples by the end of October.  They will be here
today to talk to us about this part and also about 1 Mbit DRAM's.

We met with Ted Chen to talk about the needs of Firefox.  He seems more
concerned with performance than cost.  We need to have a clear advantage
over the next generation Intel CPU.

I spent a lot of time on the math board theory of operation.  I am about
half done.
