It seems that Yahoo is being too agressive in its spam filtering.Must be. There was no message in my spam folder at all, which is the usual case. I would have put the patent document online, but I don't have a web-site right now. For others who are interested, the patent is US# 4,631,692, and can be found at uspto.gov.I went there, and searched it, and the only info available was that it had expired on December 23, 1998. I couldn't actually find the Patent there.
Go to: http://patft.uspto.gov/ and select Patent Number Search, then enter 4631692 and you'll see the patent. It describes a 4-bit shift register implementation, where the shift register is clocked at 14.3MHz--the classic 16-color implementation. -michael ******** Note new website URL ******** NadaNet and AppleCrate II for Apple II parallel computing!
