<<<Jim, as far as I know AMTX is no longer planning to do their own silicon. I know this idea was entertained earlier in the year. You may want to double check it with them, but I am pretty sure.>>

I'll see if I can find out the latest info, it would not surprise me if they had changed direction. Here is part of the original quote:

"From DJ who talked to Dr. Cioffi for 4 hours at SuperComm, "Amati will have a single-chip by Q1 --- their own, not Motorola's." When I asked if there'd be a conflict, he said he thought not. The two companies simply operate atdifferent speeds--one's a behemoth, the other's a gazelle."

A gazelle can switch directions pretty fast, which one neeeds to be able to do in todays high tech environment, prior to mass deployment.

Thanks for the update, and keeping things in perspective.

Next I expect someone to ask, how anyone could have Dr. Cioffi's
ear for four hours........ JW@KSC
