spoke, As it turns out I didn't turn off my computer yet as there was work to be done and once completed I decided to check my PM's for more questions and of course to see if anything interesting was written on the board.
One thing is that we don't know if the FPGA is done at this time, but you seem to be saying that is is fact that it is not complete at this time. Where did you get that information? What is your source? (don't say someone posted it here either).
What I am saying is that yes NVEI did give a computer simulation of Embarq to two Companies for evaluation. Since then it is indeed possible for them to have been working on and have a complete FPGA without formally announcing it at this time. At least in a later paragraph you did say that you were speculating. Finally several paragraphs later.
I have also included your question for the SHM among the others submitted.
Just a few final thoughts,
Pengy
