Larry: If you look in our Advertising, you will see that we say our aMEGA Board has "No Forced Wait States." We feel that this is the most accurate way to describe the product. As always we make no claims that may mis-lead our customers. That statement may cost us a few customers, but in the long run, well… we hope it will lead to more satisfied customers. Our instruction manual for our aMEGA Board spends several pages dealing specifically with what causes wait states and how this affects the end-user. Because the 'wait state' contraversy has died down as of late, we are pulling that section from the next printing and replacing it with some other information. But if you would like to read it, I can post it to your EMAIL box. I think I will do just that, then if you want to post some of the information in a DL you can. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd.

I would appreciate the info Ed. I am quite experienced with wait states of course, having worked on memory both for micros and mainframes for some 20 years (when I started, 2 microseconds was good, 1.5 was excellent), but I can always use another viewpoint, and I do want everyone to know exactly what is meant when talking about different company's products. Regards, Larry.
