  Charles Johnsen, president of MISC, Inc., which designed the M-17
 stack machine, opined to me recently that the problem with the RTX was
 that Harris was trying to take this uProc and go head to head with the
 giants of the general purpose microprocessor industry, whereas Charles
 feels that this sort of thing is a niche market and requires niche
 marketing techniques.

  MISC, Inc. aims to capitalize on a perceived descent of microprocessor
 design to the level of a cottage industry. Charles Johnsen predicts that
 before long, microprocessors will be custom-designed for control
 projects the same way that nowaday circuit boards are custom designed
 for control projects.
