>From recent postings on the net, I've been led to believe that
some of the major sound digitizers (not naming any names), are
doing their best to conceal their electronics, by use of acrylic
block surrounding the components, to filing the serial numbers
off the chips.  Then I ask, why would anyone go to such lengths
to hide the actual workings of a device, except for the possibilty
that the user could build his own for a lesser sum of money by
purchasing the parts himself and hacking together his own digitizer?
You dont see Sony filing off serial numbers because they're afraid
people will steal the patent on the televisions, and Commodore
certainly doesnt seal the motherboard of the Amiga in an acrylic
block!
