The Rocketcip was for sale from various mail order and retail companies for a
little while,
Applied engineering even licensed the technology from them to produce the
TransWarp II & III.
.
The Rocketchip and ZipChip came out at the same time and the two companies sued
each other
claiming they were the rightful owners of the technology involved. Zip won the
lawsuit and
RocketChips were no more. Of course then AEs license for the technology became
invalid so there
went the TransWarp II & III.
