I like Ned and we exchange info often, but to be fair he did not write these
chips. He has modified existing chips ands stays involved with tweaking them
for diff. components. He has a very good understanding and has made efforts
to work with all types of components. He will work with you, Hoppen will NOT
and is not capable of making the types of changes we request or sometimes
require. In my opinion, if you want more than the current offering which are
cookie cutter chips for either vendor( probably not a lot different), then go
w/Ned and get some help. It is very lonely standing on top of a mountain
asking for help from people (Florida companies) who are hard of hearing or
just dont care.
