True.  I apologize for making it sound like I had no faith - if it were 
Littlejohn or Reactive Micro I'd be a lot more confident that it will come

source for 30 MHz 65c816s.

When there's only a market of 300-500, you can't afford to miss your promises.

Very true - I've certainly voted with my dollars and I have a sweet running 
well connected //gs thanks to Syndicomm, Reactive Micro, Rich Dreher and the 
Uthernet guys.  Now there's promise of some more grunt, not a bad thing at
