- I have heard (unconfirmed, but from a reliable source) that they intend

- I do hope so! Despite being designed in 1990/1991, it's still a damn fine
- chip specification, and some of the modes (eg the YUV packed modes) are
- ideal for MPEG video on set-top box.

- Cost-reduce the chips and maybe add a few new features (minor 'tweaks').
- Perhaps Fabio should suggest his AGAExtender device to them, that's
- *exactly* the kind of tweaks they could add in during the redesign for
- minimal cost...
