About honkybozo

Worked as applications and systems programmer since 1964 using mainframes, minis, micros. Joined ATHENA Programming 1n 1969, converted company exclusively to FORTH programming in 1975. ATHENA has done much contract work with FORTH, Inc. including challenging cross-disciplinary applications and many polyFORTH implementations, one of which was the Novix NC4000P chip. ATHENA maintains a full up, completely native Forth system for IA32 including TCP/IP, SMTP/POP3 MTA, IPSec, and so on (If you think you can hack it, let me know and I will put one up for you to bloody yourself against:). Worked with Chuck Moore at IntellaSys 2006-2009 learning CMOS chip layout, stabilizing and improving CAD tools, and at the last serving as VP Engineering. Helped found GreenArrays in 2009 serving as VP Engineering and Board member, adding the duties of President in 2010. It is my privilege to work with a team of honest, curious, competent people, many of whom have been friends for years or decades. I believe in leading from the front, in personal accountability, and in lifelong learning.

    We have a little piggyback board with transformer, 10 MHz fox osc, and a dual op-amp to let us swing enough V to make the spec for twisted pair. Haven't started offering them publi…

    Two of the GA144 evaluation boards on my bench here in my office both shoot UDP packets out to learn the date and time when they boot. UDP over IPv4 over bit-banged 10baseT. You ma…

    Glad to see this thread. G144A12 does better than you'd expect for 18 bit ALUs doing 32 bit circular shifts and adds, but that costs enough extra instructions that for this particu…
