You always       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.        >        > Stefan       > Ryan Alswede schrieb am Dienstag, 25.

I saw two       M-ACPaAs on canadian Ebay site. The price was quite fair. Is it useful in 9577?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
