Liam,
    I guess you could look at it that way, if a large order is anything more
than zero chips. Or as far as that goes, they need a few months lead time on
email responses too. Guess I had better fix the firewall so I can make a few
dialpad.com LD calls. No way I am calling arizona on my phone bill, not when
I expect to wait on hold for a half hour or more. Most of the people
involved on the a2 ethernet project concur that we need to build a prototype
first, and to that end, I'm prolly gonna grab a junked SNES somewhere, and
salvage the 816 (Someone would arson my house,and rightly so, if I suggested
we salvage the chip from a GS). Don't get me wrong, I have alot of respect
for WDC and their chips, but I've already come to accept that if we need
their chips, we are going to end up waiting. That's all there is to it.
