Does anyone know what exactly Apple did that infringed this patent? Looking at it (to the extent I can parse patent-speak) it appears to be on an optimization in PCI DMA transfers. Does Apple actually make their own PCI controllers? I would think this would be something they would source from chipset manufacturers like Intel, and if so, how could OPTi successfully sue Apple for it? I checked several other articles about the judgement but none had any details on this part of the case.
