It sounds like you're news about the c6x is
"fresher" than mine.

I'm a bit confused about how the C6x line has been
changing. Recent news releases don't refer to the
C6201 anymore -- and now refer to the C6x line
being comprised of --

C62X -- fixed point 1600 mips; and
C67X -- 1 gflops -- 1 billion floating point operations
per second

I'm assuming the chip you're waiting on is the C6201 or
C62X, since the C67x is further out. Also -- I'm wondering
if the C6201 is being replaced by the C62x, or if it's
essentially the same chip with a new name. If it's the
first case -- a replacement -- that would probably
explain why we are waiting longer for volume shipments.

I've been so busy that I haven't read one article about the
c6x line since the summer -- and now I'm trying to catch up
with what's going on.

To change the subject -- I did read that article you posted on
S. Korea and it appears very positive. I read
that President Kim has been critical of the chaebol for some
time. Also someone was on CNBC today from American Bankers
Bond Buyer -- saying that he felt that S. Korea will go ahead
and bankrupt companies that are unprofitable. One point the
article mentioned that is important is how difficult it may be
to get the S. Korean labor organizations to accept the reforms.

Of interest -- I heard that that Perigrene (sp?) bank that
went down in Hong Kong was lending money to Indonesia and
selling the debt to S. Korea!

Angela
