I want to mention that I have an IRC channel on the libera.chat network, named #analogcomputing, if you would like to chat live about anything related to analog computing, like slide rules or electronic analog computers. I'm interested in promoting THAT analog computer product if you have any questions about that.

[http link] TRICE parallel DDA user manual A true parallel digital differential analyzer, with patchboard. Data could be viewed somehow through a display on the front panel, but also included a bunch of ADCs and DACs.

[https link] Otis King's Patent Calculator Model L Long but compact herical slide rule. More accurate than a 10 inch rule, though I'm still a little fuzzy on how the cursor system works, not having one to handle.

Field Programmable Analog Arrays Shipping — I just came across this: Okika devices is shipping ~$200-$300 devboards (standalone or pi hat style) with 1 to 4 FPAA chips. Each chip has 4 configurable analog blocks. The chips are available for $120 for 10 at their website. [https link] There is an ide of some sort and a library of pre-configured components. [https link] Datasheet (pdf via https) Looks interesting.
