Yeah, why would any potential buyer of a twin of the flagship processor care if there is one operating or not? They've got the CTO's word that once one is built to commercial standards, rather than the sub-commercial standards that allowed it to fail, all will be fine. Of course he never was able to get anybody but himself to operate it at consistent rates that approach commercial viability. But trust him. It's all good.
Just pony up that 8 million and we've, er, you've got a deal.
No.
The next thing we MIGHT hear is that a deal has been made with the unnamed engineering company to pick things up where they were left off and take over the technology completely. There might be enough cash to let Heddle become whole.
