  • Mill Computing still going?

    From Craig Ruff@cruff@ruffspot.net to comp.arch on Fri Apr 24 14:52:00 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.arch

    Does anyone know what happened to Mill Computing and their "belt CPU" archtecture? I've not seen anything from them in years, and their web server
    is either not running or is behind a firewall blocking access.

    Our mail server was down during the move to a new colo, but it was back
    in operation as of last week.

    But it appears that the web site is down.

    The web server appears to have been offline for a while. The latest
    Wayback image is from March 10th.

    At least one (highly ranked by search engines) site is claiming Mill
    is out of business.

    A few weeks ago, I looked up the company, and it was listed as
    Forfeited - FTB in California. Just search for Mill Computing
    under https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business .

    The definition of "Forfeited - FTB" is, according to https://cobaltintelligence.com/blog/resources/business-entity-status-definitions

    The entity has had its rights, privileges, and powers forfeited
    by the Franchise Tax Board, typically due to serious or ongoing
    non-compliance with tax obligations. The entity loses its legal
    ability to operate in California. This status indicates severe
    financial and compliance issues, presenting significant risks
    for lenders and potentially impacting the entity's ability to
    repay debts.

    At least Mill's operations in California are finished.

    Then please tell Ivan that, irrespective of whatever is happening with
    the Mill, that we miss his contributions to the newsgroup.
