A good news/bad news note on MMC from the 10-Q released yesterday: <<The MultiMediaCard product family is expected to undergo a rapid production ramp during the second half of 1999. This product presents new challenges in assembly and test. During the startup phase, we have experienced fluctuations in yields which have adversely impacted MultiMediaCard product availability as well as increasing manufacturing costs and reducing product margins for this product family. We are currently unable to meet the full customer demand for MultiMediaCard products. This is primarily due to demand exceeding previous forecasts from our customers. Although we are steadily resolving the assembly manufacturing issues, we have not yet achieved the production assembly yields necessary for high volume production. >>
