Pat, take regular modems for example.. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that 28.8 technology was in place when the only modem you could find in a store was 14.4. I know for fact though that there is not one 28.8 modem manuf. that didn't have an earlier 14.4 entry. So somewhere the decision was made that market at the moment could justify only 14.4 . Plus you can sell two modems to the same person in a span of a year for $200 each, instead of one modem for $300. And for a customer two times $200 is less than one time $300... So if CAP is indeed an early entry in time and price, than other companies a risking to lose market recognition. Timing is everything. Can you hear an OS/2 team screaming that they have a better product (even with IBM behind them, nothing doing). This industry has hundreds of examples of companies exerting too much effort on perfection and losing to market savvy barbarians... I am not questioning Amati, I am just playing with parallels.
