- Can anyone else confirm or deny this bit of information? We are about to
- start doing some programming for a TMS34010-based product and want to know
- if we are wasting our time.
-
- A couple of other related questions
-
- (1) What is the timetable for this?
- (2) Will TI introduce any new downward compatible processors?
-
- Just so I don't get flamed. I tried calling the FAX number --- its been busy
- all afternoon. I called the TI sales office in Toronto. They claim that this
- is *not* going to happen (or that it is a well kept secert).
-
- Email or post replies.

- Thanks,
- Todd Schneider.
