And according to a google search when avago.com turned up with a for sale 
sign on it just now, but a few links down that same google search page, 
it says avago has offered broadcom 37 Billion to buy broadcom.  All that 
is way above my pay grade.  And it smells like a market crash if it 
weren't for the bloomberg story.

But its sure sounding like one of you two ought to find 1000 or more 
chips that you know do work, buy them at graveyard prices, and build us 
a board that DOES work.

I believe the parport may be a victim of the "everybody is useing usb for 
that stuff now" mentality in the chip makers board rooms. We're such a 
small piece of that market that we don't count.
