Jock, thanx for all your hard work with IR. This is indeed good news concerning CSCO 2500 series. I realize LSI won't be making delivery overnight but over time this should prove to be quite profitable. It is good to hear LSI is keeping their hand in. o~~~ O

<<with regards to National Semi's announcement today, there is no chance that LSI will attempt to put together a CPU on a chip.>> Jock, it seems to me, it is Intel that needs LSI. I would be surprised if Intel would just let the computer-on-a-chip market pass them by. If I were Intel I would look around for a great SOC company and see about developing a great computer-on-a-chip having ADSL and wireless capability. Perhaps LSI Logic. A joint development project or a merger-- or am I just dreaming? All the best, Michael

Jock, Thanks for the info. I expected that something like a universal chip was probably a bit further into the future, but it does seem intriguing doesn't it? It seems every time I turn around there is a new vendor offering a dual mode, or triple mode phone tied to some particular technology and/or frequency range. It would seem, from my perspective, that this ongoing process, taken to it's ultimate conclusion, would give you a single chipset with a whole set of wireless methodologies integrated into it. This would mean a carrier could have a number of different infrastructure technologies installed, and a user would only have one phone that depending on the best local coverage at a given time(based on either cost or signal quality), then the chip could switch you over and start operating on that part of the chip. My best guess would be that this is probably something that LSI's G12 fab. process may enable... but we'll see. If nothing else, it's nice to speculate. DWB
