Subject: SAA7160/2

Hi All,

After a bit of talks with NXP, they stated that if shown enough of a
user base (future business forecast) for the SAA7160 / SAA7162 PCIe
chipset, they would take into consideration, an investment into
support, such that the chips can be better supported.

ie, i need to provide them information that there is some significant
numbers in the user base.
Additionally, vendors such as Azurewave are ready to help us as well,
in whatever way they can.

Any ideas, how we can show user support in terms of a future business
case ? Comments appreciated.

Thanks,
Manu

Creating a wiki site for Empia based devices and setting up a
Mailinglist worked out well. That way you also get the email addresses
of people who are very likely interested in such device.

Hi manu,

Hauppauge deal with NXP on a daily basis. We have a number of 716x
products either in the market or coming to market and we can add some
leverage.

I can push this through our FAE and account manager. Who's your contact
at NXP that we should make reference to?

Email me privately and we can work together on this.

Regards,

Steve
