A year ago, I considered their product...then I saw this commentary[1] straight from the cow's mouth: > Most of the support on (their DisplayPort 1.2 KVM offering) have been down to bad or dodgy DisplayPort cables. Seriously, it&#x

I'm generally not a fan of supporting trademarks, but with respect to USB specifically, if the product doesn't have a trademarked USB logo[1], then the default consumer assumption should be that it's dubious wank which hasn

I like DigiKey, but sometime they're neither convenient nor competitive. Food for consideration: since 3M is a ECIA member manufacturer[1], if the source isn't direct from the cow's mouth or one of their authorized distributo

Fair enough. What's the software requirement side look like? Intel's website[1; under Legacy Devices] says Quartus II v9.0 was the latest release that could target FLEX 10K devices. Doesn't look like you can download that rel

Thanks for the perspective. 2 points in which I disagree: on design and on reliability. First, on design. In your cited app note, Maxim explicitly denotes from the onset: > Operating a 1-Wire network beyond the limits or disregarding ad

I understood that joke to mean, "Maxim components are so expensive that the grey market is about the only place the layman can afford them in more than 1-off prototype quantities." At least that was my experience 8 or so years ago
