Mark,

thanks for the detailed reply. That was very kind of you to expend
your time answering my questions.

I went over to the PTEC board and read some more of your posts there.
I recently got out of CPQ, so I am not sure I want to get involved
in a supplier to CPQ... I think I will let CPQ alone for a couple
of quarters. Anyway, AWRD looks better to me than PTEC.

Does AWRD have any big name clients for BIOS except Micron ??
I read that AWRD has 60% of the BIOS market, but I havent actually
seen who they supply except the Taiwanese and Micron. Who has
the DELL contract?

thanks, Bill

Mark,

Microsoft is including USB support in Windows 98 and Award and Phoenix should gain significant revenue increases from peripheral vendors, a market they hadn't penetrated in the past.

If you check out the Intel page on USB software you will not even find AWRD!

See:

developer.intel.com

PTEC, SYSF and AMI are there..... but not Award. I do not know if it was an "oversight" or they are not really on board with USB?
