Jeff - Re: 'AMD gave Intel the rights to a couple of chips, (.i.e Hard Disk Controller and QPDM graphics chip). Intel refused these chips and complained they weren't what they were asking for" The Quad Pixel chip (QPDM) was very, very late when Intel realized it was going to get NOTHING useable from AMD as a result of that 1982 agreement. The QPDM apparently NEVER did function properly, even years later, in the latter part of the '80s when AMD finally dropped it. I'm not certain but AMD may have gotten only ONE design win for that turkey. Paul
