12:27 DAIO Data I/O -- Small Cap Profile (4.32 +0.18) A stock showing good momentum recently is Data I/O, which makes programming systems for electronic products. Its systems are used to program semiconductors so they will function as desired in the customer's electronic product. They are an important tool for the growing use of programmable ICs. Flash memory, NAND-Flash, and programmable micro-controllers are typical types of these devices. Last month, the co announced support for the M-Systems (FLSH) family of Embedded Flash Drive devices to include 512mb and 1-gig DiskOnChip H1 products. Millions of cell phones and digital consumer devices are being programmed today with DiskOnChip devices. The co's Q3 sales were $6.6 mln, roughly flat sequentially. However, stronger demand resulted in increased unshipped orders, raising backlog by $1.2 mln. Of note, the co said Q4 revs "will increase significantly over Q3." Also, the co is profitable and has no long term debt. This one is worth watching heading into Q4 report and for any moves in flash stocks, especially FLSH. Mkt cap $37 mln, float 5.8 mln, avg vol 44K.
