#CATS hardware order time
9 messages in this thread
Does anyone have a rough idea how long it usually takes to get a hardware
(computer) order through the developer program at CATS? (Yes, Steve P., I
couldn't wait any longer… <g>)

Well, if you happen to buy a couple, I'll take one. 🙂 I think it's
taken about a week for things that I've ordered, but that was for a tape
drive and a SCSI controller.

It's actually quite funny… About 10 minutes after I left that message,
someone from Commodore called to say my machine had been shipped… I'm using
it now, in fact. (And it's already spoiled me… <grin>)

Great! Hope you have fun with it. Have you tried the MPEG movies yet?
Steve
Not yet. I probably will as soon as I can manage to grab the time to download
them… <g>

Steve,
Sometimes they ship the same day (has happened to us a couple times),
other times it takes a while (don't try ordering a 2065 Ethernet card from
them, they don't have any and don't expect any soon).
Depends on whether they have them in stock, Steve. I have received things
in less than a week – and again, I've had to wait a couple of months. You
can usually ask when you call and they can tell you within a day or two of
when to expect it.

Steve,
It depends on what you order. As of 2-3 weeks ago 4000s were backordered
and CATS was telling people they'd have a long wait.

Lets see… I sent in the order 2 weeks ago today. And today, my nice new
machine is sitting on my desk and I'm just now doing my first online session
with it. (I can see already that tonight is going to be one of those *really*
late night sessions… TGIF, and for the first time in ages I actually have
nothing whatsoever scheduled for the weekend! It couldn't have arrived at a
better time…)
I guess 2 weeks is what CATS considers a long wait. (Heck, it seemed like
forever to me… <grin>)
