Summary: Calay use of Novix chip

	I saw an article in EDN I believe about 6 months ago which stated that
Calay uses the Novix chip as a routing processor for their PCB design
workstation.  I believe this is a DEC Q-bus system.  The article
mentioned that they were originally going for a discrete (or bit-slice)
design but one of the engineers who was messing around with the Novix
chip demonstrated that he could provide the performance and get to market
much sooner.

	Also, Harris has a licensing agreement to add the Novix architecture
to its ASIC library.
