Looking on picture, I would surmise it can be SiI3132, but price is twice bigger then I would expect from that chip. SiI3132-based ST-Lab A-410 controller in my city costs $29. -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
