No, we are waiting on our ASIC chips right now, as I've stated in a number of other places, though it's understandable if you have missed the posts, since they are spread out everywhere.
The bASIC ASICs are already taped out from the wafer...
Maybe you could tell us just what you think "taped out" means.
Here, current status from the enemy thread m'lord!
... I will answer some of the questions I have seen posted
...
ASICS have been in fabrication for some weeks now,
The board design and PCB layout is currently taking place, I have two of the best engineering and layout firms in California working on this , and it will be spectacular
...
When the board design is completed it does not take long to fab the PCBs and get the boards assembled. The assembly house that I use - I have been working with since May - they have assembled hundreds of boards for me and they are one of the best out there. I can have all 1000 boards assembled in 5 days.
I believe that the mask set has been created and they are waiting on the wafer run, but I have not seen detail on those stages recently.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape-out Tape-out simply means that they have sent the files to the manufacturer to make the masks.
