Hi Pace,

I posted a definition right next door

http://www.theworkcircuit.com/leftResources/encycSearch?term=tapedout

taped out

Refers to the completion of the design of a chip. The next stage is to put it into production. The term comes from the early days when designs were transferred to the fabricator via magnetic tape

wouldn't have hurt though, because only the poster himself or the admin/mod is allowed to edit posts, but you would have gotten the post ID anyways ...

Yes, I know, but I figured "Why let the system tell me something I already know?"...
