Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine Perhaps. But NSC's webpage insists that they have indeed sold the entire line to AMD, and that presumably included software tools, and even development support. Meaning anyone who had bought a board the week before the event took place, would find themselves working with a different group. As for your claims, I don't know, I'm just commenting on the webpage. I can tell you, that it was badly laid out, and looked like something done by someone who was just starting out in that business, a far cry from all of the other things that they display online. Also, it did confirm what Brian brought our attention a while ago. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
