Re: Extremely good news: Kopin 320M Display Drivers

Yeah, I had to call Motorola, they told me that distributors handle samples and
sales, and that findchips.com showed that Newark InOne has stock. Newark said
they had no stock since it was a special order, and that since they held no
stock, Motorola would have to provide samples. Motorola then says that I have to
get samples from distributors again, so I tell them Newark says they have none,
so then they call Newark for me, and have a guy call me. He called me, asked
some questions about annual usage, etc., and says they found some stock in Hong
Kong, and will submit my request for 20-40 samples. This took reopening the
service request on motorola's site many times, etc, but seems to have worked.
God knows when I will get them though. When I mentioned the mono ntsc, I was
basically wondering if the motorola asic will handle color ntsc and convert it
to mono itself, or if mono MUST be sent to the asic. If mono must be sent, I was
 wondering if generating a mono vga mode from the graphics card and then sending
that through a vga-ntsc converter would be sufficient. 
kill-9
