Mark,
We never received any sort of 'announcement' for upgrading the A2000 to 1
meg of chip mem either. 'Announcements' seem to be issued for new products,
not upgrades. Why would the 1 meg upgrade be announced as a new product?
As I have said previously, we did not receive any sort of 'tech tip' on
this. The copy of the upgrade procedure we received had the same heading
and style as the other upgrades, i.e. the fix for lost keystrokes on old
keyboards, the upgrades for 4.x motherboards, and the DMA fix for the
resistor across U605. To the best of my knowledge these were never
'announced' as a new product either.
re the CBM upgraded machines, How will anyone know that these came from CBM
that way and weren't done by the owner? I looked at one of these machines
and unless they know what serial numbers were modified, it will be
impossible for any dealer to know. There were the same two trace cuts and
the one solder bridge. There appeared to be no new stickers or revision
numbers.
Under the new CBM policy as posted by Dave Minnich, if a customer who has
one of these machines comes in for a warranty repair, I will look at the
machine and tell him he no longer has a warranty as he has had an
unauthorized modification done to his machine. Boy, will he be mad! How
will I know who did the upgrade?
I STILL think this has dragged on too long without official word from CBM
and it is too late to stop it now without a lot of problems.
