The guys at Philips Sunnyvale gor fed up too and have created this entry to Philips stuff

http://www.standardics.philips.com/

another case of a website aimed at the wrong target audience (general public instead of engineers).
Nope, it is "marketeers instead of engineers". I have discussed this issue with, who knows how many, Philips guys and that is the recurring answer.

my occasional foray to the philips discussin forum (which the web-non-master has almost managed to kill) always end

If you want to continue this discussion, please do so at www.8052.com where the webmaster is a master instead of here where the web-non-master think his job is to make thing difficult for the users
