I'm glad you dropped them. On the Densitron, it was a matter of a
vendor initially agreeing to tell the vendor how to start up memory,
and then changing their mind.

A shame, too, but transmeta was always pretty hard to deal with. There
was a company that very clearly violated the GPL by shipping a
transmeta-based machine running linuxbios, and never releasing source
to their customers. They kept telling me transmeta would not let them
release the code. I never found out the truth, i.e. who would not
allow what to be released. That company is out of business, their code
is lost forever. A sad story.

thanks

ron
