wavxmaster, it's "...a licensing agreement providing secure software for the Atmel AT97SC32xx family of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) ICs." -- is this the ONLY "...licensing agreement providing secure software for the Atmel AT97SC32xx family of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) ICs."

I whole-heartedly agree to disagree, because, until Lenovo's stat sheets indicate that Wave's ETS activation software is loaded or provided via CD, we can only conjecture that it could be Wave's software, and what makes you think China doesn't prefer to have more close control over management of TPMs distributed by Lenovo?

abe,imho you simply got a rep who couldn't find you an answer. The fact that "He admitted not knowing everything about their Client Security Solutons" ought to tell you something.
I'd call back till I got their resident whizz-bang.

Waxmaster-Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. Thank you for sending me back for another look. There it was, Atmel 97SC3203 (tpm 1.2), right in the architecture details. I found it on 12 models of the ThinkPad PC. I hope that the bulk of future ThinkPad sales will be these 12 models.

All the rest of the ThinkPads had either NS Super I/O integrated security chip or the Atmel security chip that sometimes read 1.1 or just TCG compliant. None of these models showed the Atmel IC number. This reinforces my thoughts about a large portion of 25 million PCs that will need to upgrade.

Elan, I admit, I was a little worried about the software rep knowing how to find what he was looking for, but then I thought the Intel 945GM Express Chipset was not the right one either to have Wave associated software. I was wrong about the chipset. I actually talked to a hardware engineer and a software engineer and struck out twice, I guess.

Anyway, I am going back to counting the dimes.
