Yes. Potentially interesting, but we don't have Intercast here anyway (does anywhere outside the US?) > At this point I really need a copy of some of the Bt848 pages Amancio put some up for ftp for me a few weeks ago, but I think I deleted them when I got the paper manual - maybe Amancio still has them? Incidentally, I emailed Brooktree in the US and they must have contacted their UK distributor, since it eventually came from a UK company called TDC after I'd given up hope. So maybe you'll get them eventually. If you want to try TDC for the specs, their phone number is +44 1256 332800 or fax ... 332810. -- Richard
