i think your probably right about neither protocol being the adopted
standard but i think i may go with the motorola with kflex and hope for
the best. there's not all that much difference in costs and i'll at
least be sure of getting a quality 33.6 at the min. i was considering
zoltrix but after some research probably not. Hayes is also a possibility.
sure wish manufacturer's were releasing info. regards upgrade path once
standards are established but they are notibly silent of this. now the
upgrade path on my next cpu complicated by AMD k6 arrrrrgghhh.
