Yeah, right... When you find a chip vendor like that, please let me know. Anyone care to guess what kind of "reference design" I have received from the vendor for the chip in my design (RS8973 HDSL/SDSL transceiver)? They gave me an encrypted ZIP and refused to tell me the password, requiring me to expend 5 months of CPU time to crack it by brute force (trying all 95 printable ASCII chars including space, turned out to be 7 chars long). You can read the full gory details here: http://ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG/OpenSDSL/mindspeed.html MS _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
