Jonathan C. Crowell An engineering manager in the Entry Systems BusinessGroup, Jon Crowell was the project leader and system engineer on the VAX 4000Motlels 100,400, 500, and 600 and the MicroVAX 3800, 3900, and 3100 Model 90systems. He is now working on the tlesign of the next generation of ViD( 4000 systems.Previously, Jon worked ill the Systems Integration Group qualiljiing Q-busdevices and DSSI adapters ;~ncl storage devices. He joined Digital in 1986. Jonreceived a B.S.E.E. (1981) and an M.S.E.E. (1986) from Northeastern University. Hehold six patents and is an active member of IEEE.Dale Donchin Dale Donchin manages schematic enti-). ancl layout verificationCAD tool development in the Semiconductor Engineering Group. He facilitatedthe use of CAD tools for NVKX design, primarily for layout and pli)aical chipverification. Dale is presently pcrformlng in a similar capacity for a new microprocessordesign based on the Alpha AXP architecture. He joined Digital in 1978,and was previously a clevelopinent manager in the RSX operating system group.Dale holtls a B.S.E.E. (1976, honors) and an M.S.E.E. (1978) from Rutgers UniversityCollege of Engineering and is a member of IEEE and ACM.John H. Edmondson John Edmondson is a principal engineer in the SemiconductorEngineering Group. At present, he is co-architect of a firture RIS
