While you certainly were in high tech, it was at absolutely NOWHERE

explain how to not make typos?

So your "high" tech is measured in height above sea level. Comms has
been what computers have done since the first two chips shook hands.
Perhaps you might tell us what makes these boards so marvellous.

I've been resourcing and supplying intercomputer communications boards
for decades and "special" needs boards sell at a nice premium.

I really do think that morons shouldn't really be posting here. There is
NOTHING special about communications boards

Thats my point.

except they were perfectly
reliable of course since they were installed in the initial 3 unit space
station.

Yer, some of mine are now pounding the oceans in navy ships.

What have you designed and what exactly gives you the idea that two
chips wired together are the same thing as an international standard
communications board?

I never said I designed any. The word was "sourced" them for customers
and AFAIK they were all "standard communication boards". There is one
"mega-factory(tv doco description)" that saved $US millions(their words)
from my sourcing.

There really is something wrong with you people who will do absolutely
anything to pretend that you can tell your ass from a hole in the
ground.

I'm just taking great delight inpointing out your claims are largely
hollow and nothing special and any bicycle touring knows what "your ass'
does with a hole in the ground.

Maybe I should write S-L-O-W-E-R so that you can understand? Two chips being connected on a circuit board are now considered a communications board.

Selling communications boards are fine. But you are hardly going to know the difference between those capable of long term reliability in extreme conditions and those that say they meet some standard or other. I somehow doubt that YOU sold bus communications boards used on Military vessels because they are ALWAYS sourced directly from the manufacturer who builds these boards specifically for their purpose and environmental concerns.

Err nope. that's just chip interfaceing. "Comms' at least would involve
them being on seperate boards by a "connector", even over a bus at
minimum.

Err, nope. Obviously you have not performed any such. First Hint; the
military developed these standards know as "Mil Spec" and all they
require is that components meet "Mil spec". Hint two, How do you think
the "military-industrial comlex makes their $$$$. Largely it is them
sourcing/compiling/manufacturing gear for supply/installation/maintenance
of systems in military "vehicles". IME, the military designs very little
and it is just about all contracted out and during my life, I've brushed
up against a few of these "entities" and their requests for gear.

FWIW, the armed forces often uses a lot of non-ruggardised common/
consumer components in their background support systems. Frankly I was
surprised at where this particular item was destined, but I wasn't the
"entity" that had gonads in the vice and it was one of those devices that
went rapidly into short supply and I just happened to be sitting on a
stock.

How they run their business is their concern. If I quote for
"reliability" and instant supply, even back them I didn't lower my gonads
into what was becoming the "Just-In-Time" supply system. Some people
choose otherwise.

Tom; Just take your meds.

On Dictionary.com the definition of retired is "withdrawn from or no longer occupied with one's business or profession". Its generally understood that when you are "retired" you stopped working and don't want to work. Yet you claim to be "retired" AND are looking for work. It would probably help you a lot if you were more focused. Stop going left and right, and up and down, and backwards and forwards, all at the same time. Pick one direction or task and focus on it. You are either retired, OR looking for work. You can't be both at the same time.

What is plain is that you don't know what you're talking about. Mil Spec parts for new devices are NEVER released until the manufacturer develops those boards and the Military receives and tests them to the new spec and qualifies them.

Since I actually design and program these boards and have actually gone through these procedures many times what is plain is that you should cease and desist acting as if you know anything about them.

I'd be surprised if you sold anything higher tech than a Commodore 64.

I suggest you grow up. I was forcibly retired when I couldn't remember my name without opening my wallet and reading my license. I was treated and am not looking for work because I am bored. But you may invent anything you want because that's just the way the group here is. And if there's one thing you all have is the desire to be groupies.

I find it strange that while you "couldn't remember my name without

wondrous things that you have done and brag about.

John, this Tom Kunich guy has been behaving like this for at least 23 years now. Do you really think he'll change. Back in 2005 many people were asking others to just ignore Tom in the hope that he'd go away. Answering his posts also negates the Killfiles of those who've killfiled him and that is a large number of people here.

Do a search with "Tom Kunich" and you can see how long this guy has been posting like he does.

Cheers

Yes I know, but the temptation to reply just to watch him wiggle,
squirm and change the subject is almost overcoming.

But I agree that the real solution is just to ignore him.

Yep, I know what is in the description in the catalogue. None of my
customers were ever in the market for "mil spec" custom design and as i
said, it was connsumer grade stuff being used in naval ships and not my
gonads, so wtf!

I'd be surprised if you sold anything higher tech than a Commodore 64.

I should have actually taken a distributorship in them; they are still
selling like hot cakes decades later. Yep, as per your defintion of "high
tech", and as I've already said, AFAIK none of my stuff ever went into
"space" although some of the ancient computing stuff in a community group
I helped out with was on standby when that ancient NASA craft came back
and they were trying to recover comms with it.

John, you're really brave from the distance of Thailand. Were you within arms reach you'd be the one "wiggling and squirming".

Memory loss from severe concussion is unpredictable. And over time large portions of it can reappear, I never loss any memories of my technical abilities and I can remember everything on my resume.

I also have never forgotten how to treat people like you and you well know it. So from your position of safety you can act the brave soul. But you are nothing more than a coward.
