Humm....I have not seen those comments. If RME has designed the Cardbus solution then I think it must work well with some cardbus controllers, correct? I am looking on the RME sire now but do not see any specific statements about O2 Micro cardbus controllers being bad. It's not udner their 'Hardware Alert' page. Where are you finding this? Please post a link. > > But are all O2 Micro controllers equally "bad"? Do we have any coment > from your frined or any other user of Acer? To the contrary, everything I know about O2 Micro controllers is that they are making a good product. I have not searched the web for contrary information. Please post links to interesting discussions about their controllers. I'm sure my friend would like to know about these as he takes his work quite seriously. > > The device found in 803Lci should be O2 MICRO Inc.
