I saw that post also, and immediately ordered that other T232 I've been meaning to buy for my testbed network. That's a shame -- I hope someone like Centsible or Vintage Computer can acquire their leftover stock. Unfortunately, this means there's no real "corporate" hardware developers anymore, just the hobbyists. On the plus side, the hobbyists will always be there. :-) Too bad I'm not a "rich doctor" yet or I'd have bought them out myself. There's just something about a $26,000 tuition bill. :-/ -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * ckaiser@stockholm.ptloma.edu -- I'm in Pittsburgh.

It's only a matter of semantics at this point, I'm sure, but I wonder how much longer CMD will put up with continuing to support its existing Commodore-related customer base. Not accepting *new orders* doesn't mean they're dropping the ball "cold turkey". It's very close to that, but not exactly the same. One thinks they could have been polite enough to give us a little bit more of an advance warning of their intentions. 2-3 weeks? Gimme a break!
