He just has to build 10 to 20 then ship move on to next device type put the prototype's on hold till you catch up it's just a matter of maniging your time and just keep that cycle going..

flashjazzcat Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I wouldn't dispute that assertion at all. And I notice he has his finger in many other hardware pies, too... I reckon he's just taken too much on at once. Better to finish one thing before moving onto the next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Firedawg Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 "And I notice he has his finger in many other hardware pies, too..." Sounds a lot like my money as it pertains to acquiring all the cool stuff being developed around here. I do hope Zaxon understands that I'm pulling for him and not against him, all I need is an update from time to time. Life can be tough with family, work, and everything in between, as I'm sure most of us can attest to. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faicuai Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (...) And I notice he has his finger in many other hardware pies, too... (...) ...I hope he does devotes most of his remaining fingers wrapping around (and nurturing) his own reputation, instead. Quite a large (and maybe unnecessary) exposure, if you ask me. I will certainly wait for formal / actual feedback from him. Nevertheless, I should warn that my fuse only blows one (1) time. F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropcheck Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 And I notice he has his finger in many other hardware pies, too... I reckon he's just taken too much on at once. Better to finish one thing before moving onto the next... You would think that he would have figured that out by now. Yet it appears he keeps proposing new hardware mods on other forums, takes money for the project and then leaves them hanging too. His latest post was today on http://69.90.163.150/~atari276/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=22260&sid=701f86b7d99259ed27b1823ca957a5e9&start=50 This project was started the first of Dec and there's people in it complaining about other projects he hasn't shipped to them, In this thread on this website he hasn't posted since mid Jan and that to promise shipping by the end of Jan. Yet he has been active on other sites all along. The more I find out about his activities on other sites, the worse this looks. His account is frozen on Amibay. Numerous complaints on Atari-Forum. Same here. He's been offered help. He's been offered advice. He's not taken either. But it seems he has no problem starting additional projects and taking your money. What's worse is that he doesn't communicate. Or (gasp) lies! He promises shipping this date, misses, then another date, misses, then another date is given, and finally no response at all. Some people get theirs, others don't. Same run. We are six days into Feb. with the latest promised shipping date of the end of Jan for all remaining SIDE orders passed. No shipping info for mine and no response to my PM. No update from him in this thread. This SIDE sounded like a good hardware mod and I would have liked to own one, but at this point I am going to cut my losses. Someone else can get inline. I hope I can get a refund. I just don't trust him anymore. My fuse has blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else can get inline. I hope I can get a refund. I just don't trust him anymore. My fuse has blown. If you order something that requires a pre-order just to get parts and then requires someone to hand assemble and ship it to you, you'd better be patient. It doesn't really matter how long it takes; you and everyone else in the Atari world have EVERY REASON to believe you'll get what you ordered from Zaxon (can't say the same about everyone I've dealt with with items like this). You're upset because you ordered something, didn't get it yet and see Zaxon posting elsewhere ignoring everyone who's complaining. Understandable, but trust me, our world is much, much richer because of the guys like Zaxon who do these sorts of things. Be patient like everyone else has, ignore the timeline and be pleasantly surprised when your SIDE shows up in 2013 or whenever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I specifically mentioned above, I couldn't say the same about everyone I've dealt with (which I put in there expecting you to get furious and go digging).

MEtalGuy66 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Good advice. This really is a NICE piece of hardware, guys.. It's worth the wait. I do agree that if Zaxxon is unable to coordinate/communicate any better than he has recently, then perhapse he should stop taking orders, and hand the project off to someone who CAN more effectively handle it. We need this device to make it into the hands of the max number of users, in order to guarantee continued support for it, and it would be a damn shame if this type of thing was to kill it's popularity. Its a damn fine design, and it's potential deserves to be realized. I would like to personally thank Candle, Drac030, Flashjazzcat, Trub, and Zaxxon for making this thing available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope people don't start flaming me on here.. heh. Ive got 2 MIOs that a guy paid over $400.00 for, back in 2007, and he has not complained ONCE.... Ive got a 600XL that a guy sent me for some upgrades that's been here even longer than that... And niether person has complained even once... And I don't post status reports to them at all.. Ive built & repaired hundreds of ATARI Items in the last 10-20 years, and 90% of them did not have a fixed time frame.. Some happened quicker than others.. That's the way it is when you are an individual, trying to do work of uncompromised quality.. Your REAL LIFE has to come first.. And some people will understand this because THEY TOO have lives.. And then you've got people like Faicuai.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
