I heard yesterday that the Rocket Chip is no more.  I heard QC sold the 
rights on the Rocket Chip to AE, and Zip won the ~lawsuit with Quality.
Now Zip was going to hit AE, but AE agrees with Zip as far as the 
infringement, so it looks like Rocketchip Technology is no more.  I also
heard Quality Computers went under, but I have not verified this... 
Anyone know any more great rumors :)
