SImple solution:

1) Get the chip numbers for the Oak chipset
2) Call Oak Tech. and ask them for the name and phone number of the
closest distributor for there chips is to you.
3) Call the distributor and ask them to send you the technical reference
for the chips to you. Most distributors will do this for free.
