Notícias June 2009 - Product Announcements
PIKA PrimeNetMM and DaytonaMM Change Notification - Update
As we first notified you in December of 2008, the manufacturer of a key component used on our PrimeNetMM and DaytonaMM voice processing boards has notified us that they will be discontinuing our supply of that part. As a result, we have made modifications to our hardware to accommodate a replacement component.
This forced modification will result in the replacement of all versions (part numbers) of these boards with new versions (part numbers). This transition will occur in the September-October 2009 timeframe. A complete list of the current part numbers, with the corresponding new part numbers is attached.

Better late than never comes to mind when announcing that I have finally provided you folks with a forum you can call your own. In hindsight, this should have been done from the very beginning, but hey...I'm learning as I go here. My hope is that this forum will help us build a stronger and increasingly interactive group going forward.
