@Ragman,
Quote:BTW, your link is broken.
Sorry about that, it happens every once in a while for no apparent reason. Bear with me and I’ll cut and paste the pertinent post. I presume it was the link to UK
Quote:Most, if not all, mega-chips these days ARE layered.
How interesting, I didn’t know that, but I had assumed layering could only be performed laboriously one at a time by external means, as discussed in the missing link (no pun)
Edited to remark that if it was UK, when I tried the link it worked just fine. However UK has a software glitch somewhat similar to the one in a?k where I often can’t scroll in an editing window, while the blue scrolling bar comes and goes
But in the case of UK what often happens is the window is interrupted in the middle leaving it all white from the title down. What you have to do is try a second time, or third. Usually it comes ok after a couple of tries
Hang loose. Oops, I’ve forgotten whom I’m addressing. There’s another a?k glitch: Oftentimes while editing I note that the message I’m replying to has disappeared from the bottom of the screen so I can’t reply to a specific q or para
Edited to remark that in fact, it did work this second time. But to save you the trouble, Not was describing the construction of a multi-layer board, to which I made this reply:
quote:
Not: This, I would be most interested in, for I am seeking help in construction/design of a 'multi-layer’PCB
Me: Notable! for some years ago I had proposed in a thread of some obscure forum website that very idea, interesting indeed, would be a great space saver tho I’m not just sure how much help I could provide since obviously you’re an expert in the field while I’m just an ancient former ham with incipient Alz’s
My idea for what it’s worth, which might not be very much, is a 3-dimensional construct in which the connections between layers are applied in much the same way as those on the layers themselves. I don’t know how it could be done but I am confident that’s the way it will eventually be done
..at which time watch out for the robots because they will have brains hundreds or thousands of times more capable than ours
So you get the thrust of my suggestion to Not. If as you imply it’s already done then thanks for so informing me but then the question arises why we can’t build a chip the size of a human brain
Happy to discuss any of this OT stuff by email, I am
[email protected] and apparently don’t care who knows it
