Note: For the CF(R) FLASHBACK AUDIO(TM) TECHNOLOGY driven. In 1998, the flash matrix was NOR, with limited density. Intel lead this faction.

e.Digitals 34 word phrase, even though utilizing a NOR based component in 1998, favored a NAND environment. Nand density could be and would be achieved, and e.Digitals IP best suited it.

Through their firmware, they treated the NOR environment in the same manner they treated the Nand environment, even though the NOR could be directly executed without the need of any RAM what so ever. Density and write is its achilles heal in competing against the principles of e.Digitals IP.

I followed the NOR vs NAND bullshi* before it was even noted in the media and made my opinions evident from the beginning of where this was all going.

For the above reasons, we were put on the back burner....and during that time frame the Leaders of e.Digital persevered the onsolet of not doing the right things. They did everything right(or best they could) in preserving the IP, while waiting this whole process to relinquish.

Now everything is NAND this NAND that in the media. CF is now produced in a NAND matrix....Intel has gone NAND....and the beat goes on.
