Wildman, that happened with the NSM SafeKeeper...at least that is what NSM told me.

Hello,
In response to your request:
Thank you for your interest in National Semiconductor's SafeKeeper
device,
PC21100. We are currently only supporting OEMs in the PC industry in
designing in this device. We are not adequately resourced to engage
with
smaller, special-purpose companies.
The PC21100 is fully released product, but because of our PC focus, we
are
only selling to those, specialized accounts.
