Folks,

A few points.

1. The IXP 1200 provides I2O support for the StrongARM core. The IXP can be connected to a host processor via PCI using I2O.

or
128.11.21.45

2. I hear the I2O SIG website will be updated/revamped tomorrow. Now that NGIO and FIO are merged perhaps I2O can now afford to have a higher profile.

3. Tom St Dennis takes over as WIND's CEO tomorrow. I wish him all the best.

Regards
JC.

Although I dislike Venturecom's name, I think they've found an appealing niche.

Ofcourse, if they desired having the company make it on their own in the longterm, they'd follow a non-MicroSoft path to achieve a similar goal. Hence, I assume that eventually Venturecom will want to gorw enough in size to dominate in the WinNT embedded/real-time space, and then sell the company to our friends in Seattle. They have a great head-start and would probably compete more with the likes of Lynx RealTime Systems than with Wind or Ints.

In this respect, VentureCom may be an appealing company to watch.

The fundamental difference here, is that RSYS and VCI form the bulk of their business on a Wintel (x86) platform, while the Winds, Ints, Mwars, and ATIs, etc of this world form the bulk of their business on PowerPC, SH, Mips, Arm, etc embedded procesors.

In other words, despite the overlap, it's a different market.
