Hi all, Just recieved the spec sheet for ProSavageDDR P4M266 VT8751 P4 DDR SMA North Bridge. Bad news is that I am not supposed to disclose it without permission (as per the Copyright notice). At this point I have recieved the manual without any NDA although the manual says "Confidential NDA Required". I have written back asking for permission to disclose the contents without NDA. I have pointed out the benefits they are going to derive. Let's see how it goes. I have a feeling that they may allow disclosure without NDA.

Many vendors accept releasing the code produced after reading such specs while they don't allow the specs themselfes to be revealed. Also, you can offer them to review the code before releasing it.

another option is to ask for permission to release code but not release the material. VIA has done that for me in the past.
