Hello Ron, Could you be more speciffic about "what is not doable" today? (and why?) Sorry to be annoying..
You are not being annoying at all. And I wish I could say more. Let me just say that some of the hardware bugs I saw were very complex, and very subtle, and only observable on some very expensive logic analyzers. The resolution of them required a lot of help from the vendors. They took lots of time with lots of engineers and resolved down, typically, to very small changes.
I was left feeling that the small outfits that used to do hardware in the early days (I mean the 70s and 80s) could never make it in this new world. It's very expensive and very hard. I realize some might see the raspberry pi is a counterpoint, but I don't think it really is, because the level of complexity of that system is so much less.
