Hmm, I need to update the TWGS FAQ (last touched in late Aug.), I'll try
to get it done Real Soon Now (TM).

I still need to get confirmations, but thought I'd mention couple of
points briefly:

1. Althought these new 14 MHz are suppose to be production chips, they
carry no warrenty!

2. My new 14 MHz does not work properly even at 12.5 MHz.  It crashes
more often than the engineering sample (paid $100 for it about 2
years ago) I have.  One other friend's does not even work at all.  

There are couple of success stories, of course.  Give me some time, and
I will try to get more data/info...
