Those Intel guys put on their pants one leg at a time just like everyone else.... :-) Someone in the EMC2 community must have a technical "in" at Intel?? If everyone comes up dry...... I know a guy I went to school with who is in the management chain at Intel - or at least he was the last I heard. Both of us endured a couple of Fortran programming classes together - all programming via IBM punch cards - very painful. If you guys get no where, I can try and get in touch with him and try and make some headway. This guy is probably not the best avenue into Intel, but it might provide an open door if nothing else is working. The Atom platform is a hot setup for EMC2. You would think that they would be interested in resolving this problem, if indeed it is their problem.
