I heard from someone in Philips Applications a few weeks ago, thanking me
for setting up the group, but he was anonymous - using a temporary Yahoo
email account. They were getting fed up with people requesting sample chips
from them. He did arrange for me to get to get some free LPC2106 chips, they
turned up on Xmas eve. 8-) If anyone is having real problems getting a chip
I can provide one from my stash.
