Hi Alan, thankyou for pointing this out. One difference though is that we've been assured from day 1 that LSI want their driver integrated into the ON gate rather than into some other IHV-specific gate. Either way, could we have more time to complete the back-channel discussions between various managers please. An extension of the timer rather than a complete derail is my preference. thankyou again, James C.
