as you may remember this was one of the first issues I addressed
when I offered the idea. I would like to see the company which will
accept $FA3C as an ID and pay $2500 for it, once it is known
to be even considered for public use. The only counteraction
can come from the SIG - but it is a hard choice for them, wether
to ignore the issue or to openly declare a war against the small guys
by 'officially' assigning this ID to someone/something else.

Sorry, but I still do not get it what CPLD specific clock problems
arise out of this?

I have my first demos scheduled already (in Europe). I am planning
a US demo trip as well for next year, I'll let you know when
I know more.
