Yes, as we currently in the prototype stage with our newest computer
system:  CLIPPER SHIP.  Our system is based around the Fairchild
CLIPPER module and is currently in implementation.  The key to our
system's performance is, of course, Fairchild's CLIPPER module and
zero-wait state memory which when combined with several high-speed
disk drives, allows for a very capable system.
