Re: Re(fcc): TI-H: Radio/Infrared/Laser Communications




    Ok.. Now I don't know what has been said about this as I haven't read
that far in the E-mail.  But when I read this I just had to reply.  Anyone
can program Toll Booths?  And by what facts do you base this information?
Are you a programmer?  A good one?  Do you relize how hard it is to get code
small enough and stable enough to do a task repeatedly without fail?  Do you
know how hard it is implementing one piece of hardware to software?  And,
(sorry grant no offense here) grant's MP3 player isn't all that special.
The heart of it is the MAS.  Something which he didn't design.  Only
implemented.  He just found the pieces and put them together in the right
order.  The hard part will be interfacing IDE.  Which isn't done yet.  The
part that is done isn't much at all..  A DAC and the MAS and something to
get the data to the MAS.

Your way outta line here.
