// I work in networking. Really? Me too.
// SRAMs are used extensively. If by "extensively" you mean "in certain specialized applications, or where tiny amounts of RAM are needed", then yes, I'd agree. // .. buffer chip is a 128K x 8 (1Mbit) SRAM. Do you realize that you are having this argument with the person who designed the hardware in question? SLIMP3 (2001) used a PIC microcontroller and had a very small amount of external memory which was indeed SRAM. Squeezebox v1, also an 8-bit micro-controller architecture, also used SRAM (256KB). As I said, you will find SRAM in very small embedded systems. However, Squeezebox v2 (2005) and the current model, v3, have 8 megabytes of SDRAM. If you don't believe me, look inside. // See http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2003May/bch20030515020006.htmIn my field, ECC has become a new requirement in the last 4 years because of true issues and instabilitieds caused by occasional flipped bits. There are enough IEEE articles on it to fill a bookshelf. I thought SRAMs were used in your field?? In any case, I'm afraid you still don't know what we're even talking about here! This would be a good starting point if you care to learn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_access_memory // What I was asking is data on errors during transmission from audio CD to computer. I thought you were talking about flipped memory bits... // Thanks for going on a tangent and telling me I am an ignorant sod. I didn't say that, and my goal in the first place was not to offend. However in this case I would not have been doing any of us a favor by just entertaining your arguments. I didn't go there until you'd made it clear that you weren't going to listen to what any of us had to say, much less do your own homework with a quick google search. I hoped you might snap out of it and realize that a few of us here actually know a thing or two about audio. However, since you clearly already know everything, I'll just go find a different thread do post my crazy ideas in. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32993 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
