Back of the envelope calculations and assumptions that nothing
EVER goes right, for $250K USD one might have the first
low thousands of chips. Incremental cost per chip after this
first investment would be quite low. Note however that the
document does not cover packaging the chips.

Semi-realistically and if done on a shoestring, $1 Million USD
would get one to volume production, I think.

Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu fame or a similar person of
means could make this happen.

What is the projected size of the market?
