Yes. We're actually making more now. Enough to cover all the existing
backlog of orders. Michael and Roh will help get more information out soon.

Unless something horrible happens they will ship around the end of next
week. So something like the 3rd week of Sept then should arrive in the
States.

It's hard to say for sure at this time So this is why we've resisted
making any specific comments. Right now we're still verifying the
hardware. Things are looking very good. But Harald still has a few more
things to verify before we're ready to announce a schedule.

Michael or Roh will talk more about this soon, as well.

Mickey is working on this. We've been hoping to release something for a
while now. But this GTA02 and the HXD8 stuff is eating _all_ our resources.

I hardly have time to reply to emails, let alone post on this list. :-/

Michael and Roh will do this. They are working on something now.
