I also beleive Outlaw wants us all to know the name, or they would not have given the "North American" clue. -Bob As far as the other side of the story goes...it isn't that far fetched to imagine a Chinese partner that didn't think the 978 was going to result in significant sales (pick your reason) and decided that they'd bet on a horse that could keep their workers working in a more steady/predictable manner. This is a much more likely explanation, but we'll never know unless the name(s) of the various players are brought to light. If the name(s) come out, it's only going to take a phone call or two to independently sort out what happened (which isn't to say that the version posted by Peter isn't the gospel truth). Let's face it...the 978 wasn't going to sell well at all, especially given the delay in reaching the market. While I'm sure a lot of time/sweat went into the 978, this is likely to turn out to be the more merciful outcome for Outlaw. I'm not sure what they hope to accomplish by selling a cheap processor. That market segment is packed to the gills already and packed with competitors who have a lot more to spend on R&D and manufacturing. shrug Best, Edited by Ritz2 (07/18/12 08:45 PM) _________________________ .signature
