297415 2004-11-29 01:38:00 Point i inadequetley was trying to make was that after via bought out cyrix they produced about one more chip under the cyrix name and then went under the via logo ,urgo cyrix is no more
though they may still use the name cyrix in some pda type cpus

297418 2004-11-29 03:16:00 It can drive an LCD display. :D OS's are bit limited by the (BASIC) memory. Though there's a web site served by one of the 8-pin PICs. Graham L (2)
