Hey,
Wow - guess I spoke a little too soon...Ok, so NS may be picking up where Cyrix
left off (1 year later)...I hope they do, we've got a lot of boards in
production :-o
I've gotten more support from this list than NS, although I've given up sending
e-mails to NS for the last 4 months or so...
BTW, I'm supposed to meet with some NS sales reps Friday...maybe they will show
us the 300MHz part, but then, they showed us that part 8 months ago too...
