There seems to be just one month left here to post.

One question I did not get clarification about over the years:
I am not sure about the GA activities and a possible next chip.
But the questions might be allowed:

Can people here give some feedback about:
Have you bought these chips?
Have you built a system?
Which software did you use to develop your application?
What application have you used it for?
Was it successful?

Thank you very much in advance.

What I find as the top line here in my browser is:

Effective from 22 February 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content.
Posting and subscribing will be disallowed,
and new content from Usenet peers will not appear.
Viewing and searching of historical data will still be supported as it is done today.

Hush! Don't tell him that there are other ways than Google Groups to
post to Usenet!

It has been mentioned a few times before here , so please do not worry, Anton;
but as there is not much happenening here now as we all can see, it will not change anyway I assume.

And my Forth Bookshelf on amazon will definitely survive ...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Juergen-Pintaske/author/B00N8HVEZM?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true
A bit of a historic collection, but still useful to some people as the feedback shows;
but I wonder how large the group of Forthers under the age of 60 is,
so mostly pensioners now I assume.

Thank you very much for your non-feedback.
It seems that there is no interest at all in the GA144 that people want to talk about.

I just wonder, why nobody seems to have implemented the GA144 in FPGA
and expanded the memory and IO as required in the application.

Yes, loose 10

No, impossible. Too small to experiment with, too poorly

Official kit. It didn't work, until GA patched it.

Prime counting example.

Conclusion GA144 is a dud.
If you had paid attention, you would seen my conclusion this from
previous posts where I elaborated.
You could have drawn this conclusion from the non-responses.
With 100+ manhours invested in GA144 I felt that the work for
this post is negliglable.

I had seen some feedback over the last 10 years.
I just found it unfortunate
that this part of Chuck's work is not that successful,
and wanted to give it a try again to find out.
Even if you know you know better.

Well, at least one feedback now.
Why it was not successful can have many reasons...

So at least one feedback then. Thank you.

It seems that noone looks after their website
https://www.greenarraychips.com/

If you go there and see:

Googling brings up this late 2022 video which explains what happened:

Looking around a bit more on their website leads to this, where there is another video
