BOPS, Inc., has 15 years of experience in the microprocessor industry,
and he has held executive, sales and engineering positions at ARM and
Motorola. Mr. Schlachte came to BOPS after three and a half years at

Mr. Schlachte was in Motorola’s World Marketing Group, where he was a
key member of the Power PC team. Among other things, Mr. Schlachte led
