Hello Wolff,
> Pretty interesting IMO.
Yes ... and as I stated, in my research I have found numerous companies that make OEM micro-motherboards. I'm guessing that you recognize this fact from the Epson web site ... right?
Just in case you don't, I can go into great detail for you here to explain the differences ... just let me know ...

I'm guessing that you are going to post the URL of the source of your Epson data? Again, I don't want any of the investors here to start thinking that you are keeping any truth from them ... we know that is not your intent.
Here's a good start for people who want to review the Epson information: eea.epson.com
This is an OEM component that is not a complete product. There are many reasons why this might be done, and one is to avoid any Patent issues and licensing fees. But I can not find *any* references to a shipping "product" which could just to "turned on and used" ...
I'm sure that if I'm missing something you'll point me to the URLs that will correct this statement?
> I would like to point out now that the Epson PC-Card > series DOES INDEED HAVE NON-VOLATILE STORAGE MEANS
I'm sorry ... but you'll have to post the URLs for further investigation.
One thing that I guess you would know is that the word "MEANS" makes a huge difference in law ...
You have the "MEANS" to steal from someone ... but actually *stealing* something is against the law. Likewise in Patent law, having the "MEANS" is not in violation of the patent unless those means are used ...

And so I would speculate that the OEM vendor, who purchases these components from Epson, might have to contend with Xybernaut on the patents ... this is a very good find!
Now that I think about it, that means that if Xybernaut simply watches who the customers are that use the Epson products, they will have a very good trail to follow in pursuit of patent license revenues! Very good find indeed!
