I did some search on gigabit Logic inc and found these articles. I read most of them. wow. Galium Arsinde was all the rage 1982-1990 with market share predictions in the 150 Billion $ range.
And then it flopped. I find that pretty scary to see.
Lets hope that today, with moors law coming to a head there will be a bigger demand and need for it. Maybe finaly 20 years later it will achieve the market share predictions of the past
Here is the link to the articles. Have at er.
