I probably already got it (had all sympthoms, including loss of smell, taste and later got super overreacting on smells). Gonna test it soon - just waiting until law here changes (test for antibodies is putting victim into quarantine here :/ it's subject to change). And i have relationship on FL so you know... Not going is bad option ;) Plus my client is waiting there for ecommerce consultations and starting big project ;)

The plan is for november (postponed 3 times already, as law was changing dynamically and US opened borders for B1 just month ago).

Well this all sucks, seems all very strange, like the guy was trying to stir up this kind of response... Another blow to the Amiga community.

This all makes no sense, I don’t understand this guy. Why clone a board that would be open source anyway? I really enjoy my TF536, respect to Stephen for developing it. It’s just sad that some @sshole tried to screw you over by doing such a despicable act.

You will certainly have my business when they become available, I have the Rev 6s ready to go, and the TF330 I purchased from you last December was superbly made. ( Still have not used it yet need to repair my CD32 :mrgreen: )

The evidence points more and more to a photoshop job.

I feel the poor builders are going to get smashed by the demand for the TF360.

I'll need to buy one, desolder all the components and rebuild from scratch to satisfy my itch :roll:

This is something I know about.. :)
He got the real files actually from DCE that owns the rights. (!!)
he had some kind of reproduce agreement. (not buying the rights!.. BIG difference) he made a downpayment and got the data..

unfortunally (?) he screwed it up when cadding a new versionnumber etc on the board. I bet he had gazillions of warnings when exporting the gerbers but didn't understand...

he however never paid the rest of the agreed sum of money.. sadly DCE also stopped answering our mails. as we asked to buy the data..
