Unfortunatly, this one isn't so obvious, sigh! Should "Hitachi" or "Mitsubishi" appears in an historic context then that name should be retained - we need to avoid rewriting history. For instance: -Hitachi America, Ltd. sponsored the support for H8/300, H8/500, and +Renesas America, Ltd. sponsored the support for H8/300, H8/500, and Super-H processors. "Hitachi" (a specific legal entity), and not "Renesas" sponsored the H8 development. At that time Renesas did not exist. Similarly, for specific products that didn't survive the merger, I think it's again better to let the comments reflect history (Is the E7000 still live? For the d10v, I've never had success finding anything public on it and I've tried a number of sources, would you have a pointer?) I see that you've carefully avoided touching the SH-5. My hunch that having the sh4/sh5 split would, in the long run, make lives easier was correct :-) enjoy, Andrew
