Ahem. Sorry for the long subject line and seemingly whiney request
("Why don't you call them YOURSELF?!?" I hear already), but I've already
wasted about DM200 on 6 rather lengthy phone calls here from Germany
(Bundespost long distance rates have gone through the roof with this
wonderful "gee isn't everybody real happy it happened" reunification
business) to M.A.S.T's U.S. HQ and I'm sort of hoping that someone
closer would do us all the public service of calling them up, getting
the latest scoop, and posting it.
Actually I feel sort of guilty about sort-of-flaming the folks at
M.A.S.T. since the people I've talked to on the phone have been
VERY NICE and VERY HELPFUL (if somewhat chatty for a long distance
phone call at my expense!), it's just that they've all had exactly
the same thing to say each time!
To paraphrase:
"Um. 4 to 6 weeks.. Yeah. 4 to 6 weeks, that's it!"
"It would be ready right this second only it's in fab/testing/the shop/out
being cleaned/being FCC approved/held up in traffic/been eaten by the
shop dog/lost in the mail but it's COMING REAL SOON! Honest! It and
the Starburst SCSI card too! They're being timed to arrive together for
greater impact. Yeah! That's it! Greater impact!"
Sigh.
I've got this tower in Paris I'd like to try selling to M.A.S.T. sometime.

Luckily I'm staying in Malaysia and do not have FCC to worry about. From: relsum@ismdqa.intel.com (Reliability Summary ) Path: ismdqa!relsum kkb kbkoh@a1acc1.intel.com
