But with a ka-zillion tunnel diodes you can build the fastest
computer ever. Well that was what all the hype was about in the
early 60's.
Did anyone ever use Junction Fets in computer logic?
Not that I've seen. Likely reason for that is by time the JFETs became
common enough production computers were IC based. However MOSfets on
silicon did make it into IC as CMOS and well.. there in computers big time,
