Eric,

Three questions...

1) Does SSTI manufacture its own variety of high density flash through a fab parter.

2) Is SuperFlash suitable for MLC?

3) Is Nakhimovsky a double agent for SanDisk?
[see my post yesterday in response to Wily's link]

I appreciate your zeal in keeping current with SSTI.
One thing that I find peculiar is that both SNDK and SSTI
are in the Sunnyvale area, yet SNDK makes a technology
investment in Tower Semi and Saifun. I am not about to
second guess the judgement of Eli Harari or his engineering
staff. I think that the SSTI SuperFlash technology has
some favorable attributes based on the partners the SSTI has
accumulated. Either MicroFlash is competitive to SuperFlash
or Eli Harari and Bin Yeh don't see eye-to-eye. Perhaps the
prior SSTI industry partners (read: IBM, read: microdrive,
read: CompactFlash competitor) scared Eli away.

Finally, I am hoping to understand better the nature of the
licensing agreements Bin Yeh has brokered. Where is the royalty
stream from these agreements or was SSTI technology bartered away
for fab capacity?
