Scumbria: I noted that one myself and couldn't help but wonder as to why both the technology and more importantly, the approach being taken by Jazio, wouldn't be viewed warmly by the chippers, especially now. (g) I also suspect that now that RMBS has thrown down the gauntlet, the impetus to work around their "patents" may move quickly into high gear. We rarely get serious about a problem until it becomes threatening. (g) Incidentally, while I review this thread, I rarely post here, due to the rancour and rudeness displayed by some of its participants. Open discussion tends to be encouraged by civility. Too bad some participants do not place a value on examining alternative points of view. Best, Earlie

Scumbria, <please review and comment on this article from MPR: jazio.com > Brief look at the Figure 2 from the JAZIO article clearly shows that Rambus patents are infringed:) :) :) Looking again at the Rambus mouthpiece: dramreview.com ====== "On the front page of Rambus patent No. 5915105 is a diagram showing the input and ouput sections of an interface connected to an I/O pad. When this diagram is compared to Figures 1 and 2 from Micron's publication which describe the input and output sections of a DDR device, the similarities are remarkable." ====== Yes! Yes! Yes! Similarities between 2->1 multiplexors are truly remarkable! From now on, Texas Instruments should pay royalties on every 74N157/257/258 TTL IC ever sold since 1972 (or whenever), because similarities are so obvious, even to photographers, even to low-temperature physicists! I guess the TXN is next in line ...
