Okay I got some confirmation that CF745 is really untested 16C54 specially for the mainland China market. The system vendor are supposed to test it during programming. It is supposed not to be sold in the retail market. But a google search shows that a lot of the vendor do this. Another google search shows that there are really cheap clones in the mainland China market. The mainland Chinese market is really very very competitive and too bad every one is going there and we have to be there as well. :( >-----Original Message----- >From: Chen Xiao Fan >Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 3:40 PM > >Very interesting to hear that.
