Hi Poe,

[Thus spake Poe Lim unto Peter McGrath:]
 
 PL> BTW, WRT USR chips inside, I suppose it is true in so 
 PL> much that they use their own programming, rather than 
 PL> someone else's chipset. After all, the TI DSPs and 
 PL> i80186 are general purpose chips.
 
 PM> The TI DSP in my courier is made by Texas Instruments BUT
 PM> (c) copyright by US Robotics. So is it generally available
 PM> or made specially for USR??

 PL> Don't know; didn't think USR would use enough to justify a special
 PL> line for their chips. 

The (c) probably refers to the USR code embedded in the chip. It's like
writing on paper - the copyright protection only goes to the expression
of the material printed on the paper, not to the paper itself.
