I've been out of the ARM loop for some time now.
That time I was going to use 2138, but it didn't work for me because of 
extra cycles added on IO writing.
As I remember, during the subject discussion Philips promised 2138-type 
controller with fast IOs (in 6-8 weeks?).
Does anybody know if there are any developments in this area?

Thank you,
Gennady
