Moin,
Looks like Timothy missed this one.

I regrett to say that having TRV10 (the ASIC needed for the finished
graphic card) ready within half a year is impossible. Even if we
would have all the verilog code written and tested to our satisfaction,
the production from the point when we send the code to the fab until
we get _samples_ back is at least 3 months for simple chips and goes
up to 6 months for more complex ones. That is, given the fab has
free capacity.
That still does not take into account that nothing of the graphics
core is written yet.
If you'd ask me, i'd say that OGA1 wont be finsished within 2 years.
I assume it to take something in the range of 3 to 4 years (unless
our friends at Traversal put a huge amount of time and money into it).
After that, there need to be at least half a year of testing to be
damn sure that our design has no flaws and that the implementation
is correct. And after that, we can finaly produce some chips.

There should be one for OGD1 soonish, but you'll have to
wait for TRV10 a bit.
