>>Freescale are ordering boards in the long term. You're going to have so much
>>egg on your face in the coming months, I can guarantee it.
>
>Just another pile of bullshit.
Nope, those orders are very real.
>>There is a list of people who were promised a Pegasos board for demoscene
>>activity, and as soon as it's possible to fulfil that, they will get them!
>>That's the stark honest truth, there is no deadline or "maybe next week"
>>because I cannot be sure. We just started to sell Pegasos boards to Amiga
>>resellers again, because now we are starting to have the capacity (money-wise)
>>to build boards over and above the Freescale orders - the resellers really
>>wanted it, so we gave it to them.
>
>You gave it to them. I doubt that very much indeed.
I think "allocated" would be the correct word actually, but that is my understanding also.
>>Note that Freescale aren't able to produce boards at 1/5th of the cost; not
>>without the 4 years of development you usually put into these things. They could start now
>>and they'd be finished about the time we finish the Pegasos 6!
>Lets see, I think we've covered this, Neko says that two guys in Germany can fab, produce,
>develop, better than all of MOT, now called Freescale.
Why not? IBM get external companies to design their reference boards.
Freescale is in the semiconductor business, that's quite complex enough without having to be a board designer / manufacturer.
>Do you remember Set Top Boxes? I'm sure that allied to those statements were.... Cost reduction,
>and mass production. Yay!. Oh and NOT forgetting ! Throw Away Price !!! Yes!!!!
Price depends on the number manufactured, if it's in the hundreds they are expensive to make, PC boards are only cheap because they are made in the hundreds of thousands.
As for the STB I don't know the current status of that but a lot of work was done on the hardware itself but the last I heard the customer (who I met) wouldn't pay up front - which makes life difficult if manufacturing costs are going to run into to tens of millions.
Oh and lastly, apparantly my social security payments were made fine as I've been benifiting from them for several months now. |
