Except Greg says they have about 180 units produced so far. I got the impression from Greg that the 100 units Paul mentions are sold but not delivered. Delivery should start later this month. I don't know much more than this so call Expert Services for questions. There might be a User Group discount.

[dumb question time = feel free to ignore] Since the Rejuvinator allows 1.4 to be used on an A1000 and 1.4 is not yet released, does that mean that these Rejuvinators do not have the 1.4 Chip Set? And what about the ROMs? Much as I want a Rejuvinator, it doesn't do me much good if I will have to buy 1.4 later and install new chips and ROMs. I'd rather wait. So what's the status of the Rejuvinator boards offered now: with 1.4 or not? Anybody know? Dana Bourgeois @ Cup.Portal.Com

Anybody know? I see the guys at Expert Services (the people who are marketing the Rejuvinator) about 2 times a week. As far as I know, the board is using 1.3 ROMs (considering 1.4 isn't released yet) and it doesn't have the 1.4 chip set either. Now a plug for they Expert Services people (Scott/George, will this get me a bigger discount? :-) ). They have given myself and the people that I send to them the BEST service I've ever heard of or had as far as Amiga dealers are concerned. I highly recommend Expert Services for any Amiga purchases you are planning to make! [ I don't WORK for them, I just finance their cars, homes, etc with my purchases there! :-) ] -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________ / / / | UUNET: / (___ _ /_ /_ _ __ /_/ | uunet!sdrc!evtracy / . _____)__(__/ /__/_/_/ /__/_/_/__(/__/ (__/ \ +------------------- Mobius Recursive Software - Making Yesterday's Tomorrows Today(tm) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[answered my own dumb question...] I called the Expert System people today and got the word from them, direct. The first batch of 100 boards is NOT all sold yet. Maybe 20-30 left. You know the price. What you get is with the 1 Meg Agnus chip and the 1 Meg ram but no ROM. For $49.95 more you get ROM 1.3 and a kit with wire and a switch that allows you to keep loading Kick Start into RAM. But it will go into your Chip RAM. The motherboard RAM will be fast RAM. First shipments are starting in 2 weeks or so and the next batch of boards are scheduled to build around the end of May. Probably another 100 in that run. The Flicker-Fixer option is exactly that, you plug a Ff in there. I thought Expert was designing a smaller version that would fit in there but I was told that the Ff would go there just fine. And they say Frances/Lucas works just fine. You have to understand that these are not hard dates, they are approximate. Don't yell at me or at them if the dates change. Dana Bourgeois @ Cup.Portal.Com Better .sigs through electro-chemistry
