- I could be wrong, but I'd guess that this "chipset" IS in fact a
- chipset, based on the new Sportster design (not the Courier/Old Sportster
- design with the off the shelf TI DSP and the 80186). The new model
- Sportsters appear to be based around a specially designed DSP and CPU in
- one chip, made by TI. It's possible that TI is selling this chip along
- with USR firmware as a chipset.
