Whatever happened to Gene's "next" venture--what was it, "Waferscale
Technology" or some such thing. I recall that he received what was
then an almost unheard-of first-round VC financing--something like 27

Waferscale was his company? I didn't know that. I have quite a
few of their chips. I think (but am not certain) that they got
swallowed up by STMicro.
