67F687 chip

[David]

Mike,

I have a scanner and would be happy to help by scanning anything you do not
have on disk.

The same offer goes to others too.

Please note the best results are achieved when the item scanned is as clean
and original as possible.  By that I mean not 5th generation photo copy.

David

|The SSI Chip is still in production and some suppliers are still able to
get
|them.  Unfornately TDK who now owns the sub division of SSI that
|manufactures the chip will not take on new distributors and will only meet
|demand produced by current distributors.  The chip is as good as the data
|sheet makes it out to be.  I'm currently constructing the SSI evaluation
EFI
|system that they sold for $2500 to developers when the chip was first
|released.  It is not done as of this time, but I am aware of others who
have
|used the chip with success. I will be happy to answer any other questions
|you may have on the chip, but I will admit I am far from an expert on it.
