Shane, This number has probably been hashed before, but what percentage of LSI revenues are due to the Sony Playstation? I believe that LSI has enough on the table to compensate when Sony transitions. Thanks, Tom

Wizard, a little followup to the possibilities of LSI using the REALLY fine line lithography in the near term...see the following extract (full text over on the DPMI Thread): QUOTE: The Austin, Texas-based team created these ultra-fine features using a photomask produced by DuPont Photomasks Inc. at their Round Rock, Texas, facility; a photoresist process developed by the University of Texas team; and a piece of chip-making equipment known as a stepper made by a little-known company called ISI. ''It's going to take five to six years to know if this is commercially viable,'' said Ken Rygler, executive vice president of worldwide marketing at DuPont Photomasks. ''There are many hills to climb, but it's an important proof of concept.'' Rygler said it was a plus and surprising that all the technology used in the process is available now. Round Rock-based DuPont Photomasks -- which was spun off from chemical giant Dupont Co. a year and a half ago -- is the world's leading maker of photomasks, the translucent plates containing precision images of a chip's features. Those features are transferred to a silicon wafer by exposing the wafer to ultraviolet light beamed through the mask. .... Looks like LSI will have go get by with the move to .18 and .13 for a little interim period.. TSo
