Re: Extremely good news: Kopin 320M Display Drivers

YAY! 3 CHEERS FOR KILL-9!!!!! HIP HIP HORAY! HIP HIP HORAY! HIP HIP HORAY!
(love spamming this e-mail) lol well congratulations! you may as well be the
3rd *individual* at obtaining the chips ummm I was wondering if we could
split the uh chip order/requests from this list so I can still keep the lot
of my chips ;-)

Nope. I'm almost 100% certain that it can handle color ntsc because the
TekGear M1's are based off an outdated version(i think MCQVV110) of the
MCQVV111AFB and they will work off a regular NTSC signal.
Anyways I highly doubt Motorola would make you build a special color to
greyscale converter for NTSC.

Oh yeah, kill-9? did Motorola (or whoever you are getting the chips from)
give you a tracking number??? Motorola gave me one and I can't figure out
how to use it or what to do with it! lol

Brian Kuriyama

oh yes and here's the current chip list:

Chuck Knight (2-3)
Dan Vasaru (2 wont mind if bundle w/ displays)
Bryan Hurley (2)
Alex (Kill-9) (could you please take half of the orders? ;-) )
Justin (Technomage) (3)
