I like this part of your GI/Broadcom post: <<But he noted that GI needed firm commitments from a few selected chip vendors to offer proven deliverables. "We have a contractual commitment and a development timetable to keep," he said.>>

Koreans working on optical recording............... koreaherald.co.kr <<KIST Develops High-Density VPOMA The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), in cooperation with Samsung Electronics and Arizona University of the United States, has developed a high-density versatile polychromatic optical memory analyzer (VPOMA). The VPOMA software, which helps design polychromatic optical memory and 16x optical memory discs, is part of a project to develop materials for high-density optical memory. The new analyzer can be used for many kinds of optical memories, regardless of their laser wavelength, the institute said. Using the analyzer, Samsung has developed a 2.6-GB (gigabytes) disc with a 0.74-micron track pitch and 0.6-micron recording path. The company is working on optimizing the disc with a recording density of 4.7 GB. KIST plans to commercialize its VPOMA through TUY Laser of Germany and develop materials for high density optical memory by 2000. >>
