        CIRCUIT BOARD UPDATE SHOWN

MOSAIC SYSTEMS Inc, said Monday it has developed a small alternative to the
conventional circuit board on which computer chips are mounted.  Mosaic's
process uses microscopic current conductors deposited on a wafer rather than
using wires to link chips together.  "This long-awaited development can make it
possible to build much smaller, faster and more powerful computers and to
manufacture them at a lower cost,"  said Robert Johnson, president of Mosaic
Systems, which is based in Troy, Michigan.

[ does anyone know what is being described here?  Certainly, linking chips
together using wires doesn't sound like current methods.  ---Werner        ]
