December Deliverable GigaMos Systems, Inc.

This section describes the prototype version of the Falcon Processor
product.to be delivered on December 30, 1988 Hardware Requirements of
the December Discrete Component Prototype.

	A GigaMos Lambda computer with 1/2" tape drive.

	A NuBus extender card for the Lambda.

	A Macintosh II computer with 1 MB memory

	An Apple compatible video card and monitor

	A Macintosh II extended keyboard.

	An Apple ethernet board.(probably not)

	A 350 MB disk drive

	2 NuBus coupler sets, with cabling and connectors.

	Card cage and cabinet (Mac-Mate) to hold the Falcon processor.

	A Falcon board set which includes processor (with Weitek
floating point chip), and memory card (how much memory do we think we'll
need?).

Software Requirements of the December Discrete Component Prototype.

	A port of the Montreal KMAC software from the Lambda to the
Falcon

	Development software for the Lambda computer (including cross
compiler)

Functionality of the December Discrete Component Prototype.

	Functioning screen, keyboard, mouse and file system interfaces.

	All Gabriel benchmarks running.

	Existence of a timing routine to time the benchmarks.


Several people suggested a list of thing that will NOT be in the
December Deliverable.  These are listed below.

	Cross Compiler (Will be running on Lambda)

	Flavors

	Stack Groups

	Virtual memory

	New Lambda cold load

	Booting from the Macintosh

	Garbage Collector

	Stack frame overflow

This is a significant reduction of expectations from the earlier goals.
Can we make this one or should we simplify even more?
