I just got off the horn with none other than Tony Fadell, co-creator of the
20-25MHz '816.  Things are getting close.  Right now, they have their chip
installed in a GS along with a WDC part- in parallel.  They're doing this
to make sure their timing is okay.  So far, what they've seen is timing
just as good as or better than the WDC part.  

This phase will continue for another week or so.  After that, testing
in as many different machine configurations as possible will occur, and
after that- blammo.  Can you say, "the GS went to hell, but came back alive
and ready to kick butt".

Just wanted to let y'all know, to keep up the faith!
