Hi, I was able to talk with the IT guys and they temporary stripped off the
appending email and disclosure info!

I heard via the grape vine about a year ago that the reason why Phillips was
pushing so hard to move over to the ARM7 was that they where going to drop
the XA product line as soon as they had enough ARM7 derivatives out. Just
what I heard. Considering that and that we use the XA in our current product
line, we decided to move over to the ARM7 now instead of waiting.

You should have been there when Philips orignially announced the LPC2xxx
parts.  It was literally a year before anyone saw silicon and they would not
ship samples for several months after they said samples were available.  I
was working closely with my local rep to get info, not parts, just info, and
it was very slow coming.  Then just about the time they actually had a data
sheet available and I wanted to get samples, they dropped all third party
reps and I was back to square one with the Philips sales guy.  I never did
get my samples.
