"We are currently only supporting OEMs in the PC industry in
designing in this device"

We need to consider that "in designing in this device" could imply implementing it to a PC OEM's specifications, like for instance if it goes on a daughterboard or a motherboard. Remember, NSM only makes the TPM hardware device itself, somebody has to put it somewhere.

The impression I got from my visit to the CTIA Wireless is that the SafeKeeper is indeed fully released to PC OEMs. I am going to guess it is being implemented on motherboards. I would further guess that motherboard OEMs that will be placing SafeKeepers on motherboards for PC OEM customers have the processes in place to do so, or soon will have. Intel has been able to do it with Infineon, HP with Infineon, IBM with Atmel, and etc., so I doubt the others are far behind.

SPIN, nice selective editing,

taking crappy english into account (and I've seen much worse here in official documentation from local companies) I go with Ramsey's explanation...

now skip down a line where it says this:

"The PC21100 is fully released product, but because of our PC focus, we are only selling to those, speciallized accounts"

The Compaq link is here. http://www.cluster-labs.com/download/CL_DS_CPU450_V1_01.pdf

and it is available now...

http://www.bladeserver-direct.com/us/index.html click on 'Products', 'Blade Server Cards...' then 'Blade Server CPU 450 P4 2.0 GHz'

(full link is an https link that will not be hot...)

(data sheet at http://www.bladeserver-direct.com/pdf/DS_CPU450.pdf is the same as linked above, WITH TPM reference)



Believe what you want.

SPIN,

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, speciallized accounts.

IMO, the underlined statement would better read as "We are currently only supporting OEMs in the PC industry with the design of this device".

The word designing I believe is used as a reference to work done. The next statement clarifies this by clearly stating the device is "fully released product". How this can be rounded down escapes me.

Got your PM, can't reply with free service. Self sensorship sometimes is a more efficient means to an end - especially when I'm no longer in taking the journey. Trying to keep the board clean
