Presented at the 89th AES convention in Los Angles (Sept. 1990) was
"A Family of AES-EBU Interface Devices" by David J. Knapp from
Crystal Semiconductor Corp. of Austin, TX.

I would suggest you contact Crystal Semi. (phone number unknown).
The article implied that some devices were available and some were
on the drawing board.  I would appreciate hearing about anything learned.
