Re: looking for Dr. Ralph Chassaing book's CD-ROM

Started by zeme...@yahoo.com November 14, 2008
Michael and Jeff,

Thank you for your Cooperation and understanding my problem.
I have followed the steps that Micheal listed out and I have found the whole CD-ROM from the publisher website.

And you are right Micheal it was a very simpe problem that should have been solved easly. I understood that it is because I prefered others to slove my problem for me which I would have done it.

Thank you anyways.

Zemene

That's great you found the CD. I hope your DSK 6713 project goes well. Dr. Chaissang's book is very good. You are
on the right track.
