I don't know what happened to Philips semiconductors Hamburg Germany, from where we got all the support from Hartmut there in his free time. I totally underestimated, what he still has to hack to provide that all for us, but I now have a better picture. Then Manu announced, please don't take it as an attack or something in that direction, that he has all NDAs for the recent PCIe bridges with dual/quadro multiple/mixed frontend support. Might not yet have been sufficient enough. We have our own analog experiences too. We know what it means to get the right datasheet! And struggled for years for example on the tda9887 and related. If you have it once, it is nothing anymore, and you have tears in your eyes for all the pain you had ...
