E: That was a neat trick! How did you do that! My post DID VANISH! Now I want it back! It takes a fair bit of time to write these posts! Now don't make this one disappear. It is important! Wanted to do an update on that 5 Horses of the Apocalypse that I have mentioned here before (these are the very high volume type chips): DVD - sure bet now (anyone who says otherwise is a fool - DIVX is likely a niche and we have content now and the players are much cheaper and we have China - still no recording but that will come) DCAM - Monster Success (if only the idiots had not messed up DVD we would have been in the same situation 1 to 1.5 years ago with DVD instead of it just now finally taking off - 2 XMas' late) Fibre Channel - Steady Rapid Growth continues - lots of devices will use this GSM implementation - Has all the earmarks of a monster hit for about 2 years or so - will likely be integrated with other implementations I think. CDMA - not yet - still working on designs I think. Now add 2 more horses: DVB chip - looks like a sure bet big-time winner (unlike the US Europe has their act together with this digital TV thing). Also LSI teaming up with BBC who is in charge of the whole shebang - so a good thing - leaders are good! Check out: bbc.co.uk (9 demodulators tested - LSI clearly on top (but there may have been bias - BBC board!, Motorola 2K, STS and some others I have not heard of. There also is a zip file with complete results.) SonyPlayStation 2 - just put this in here - no idea what portion of the market LSI will (if any) get here - rumors on Sep. 24 that PlayStation 2 be rolled out in April - these rumors were then squashed all over the place. We shall see. Of course the older higher volume horses have not yet been put out to pasture: MPEG-2 STBs networking whatever storage whatever telecom whatever playstation whatever And now add on all the Symbios high volume chips: unknown unknown unknown <ggg> So problems? What problems? No problems! <g> Shane ( lsilogic.com & lsilogic.com ).
