pat, << Siemens and TI's ADSL >> I know mixed signal currently has a very hi-speed ADSL solution in design. That puts this particular device at least 6 months from production, but prototypes could be out in as little as 2 months depending where the chip is in the design cycle. They're in heated competition with ADI on this one, but they believe it will outperform ADI's. Wish I knew more about it. Larry

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! Regards, Angela
