   have to ask yourself who is in need of something like that. Also, lots of   
   older cards used PALs/GALs, programmed logic arrays, where you have to know   
   the code inside because    
   you can't easily read the contents. Guess, the 'original' redesigners of snark   
   barker or plained bib did all the research back then or were open to release   
   their designs, so a redesign was quite easy. IDK, but texelec is surely open   
   for questions like    
   these.

   Is this M-ACPA better sound card than Resound cards or Snark Parker? I saw two   
   M-ACPaAs on canadian Ebay site. The price was quite fair. Is it useful in 9577?
