Design Goals
One of the design goals of Intel for AMR was to allow motherboard manufacturers a way to implement analog I/O (audio and modem functionality) on an expansion card for U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification. Potential cost-savings could then be realized by reusing the card on multiple motherboards and skipping FCC certification for those motherboards.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or goals:
“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
—Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)
