Someone I know got his within that time frame of 2 weeks. Sucks to miss it and possibly again. Please to the developer, would take either option you have available. Will purchase today. Thanks! Well, you're not going to miss it this time, I reckon. You're on the list. ?

xeex Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'd like to be on the list for the regular edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Since you seem to have enough to go around for the initial rush I'd like to express interest in a Special Edition version. Since I own a Flash already I was going to step aside to make sure others that wanted one could get it but it looks like you're covering all the bases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastor Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'd just hate to spend my money on the regular and be selected for a special I could no longer afford, but sounds like that's a chance I'll have to take! Probably just get a regular and if I happen to have money later I'll get a special if I'm chosen, then probably offer my regular one here at cost once they are all gone. Ok enough of that talk. Regular edition stuff only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvnut Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Repost of #2111. Circuit boards in anti-static packaging... Depackaged, waiting for some firmware... Getting some primary firmware... Getting some secondary firmware and some stress testing... ZOMG so many boards! And... some have manufacturing flaws.... (Look at those garbaged up pins!) Lots of testing... ________________________________________ Reposting #2112: I had to notch a lot of plastic... The circuit board below was a failed unit that I used for size-checking. Yes, I personally cut the USB connector hole in each unit. A big box of carts waiting to go to Michigan where the rest of assembly will commence: Another 10 can fit in that box, laid out as shown below. I wasted no space. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Repost of #2114. How I notching the USB connector hole. First, remove the "skirt" where the connector will be: Now you have a nice flush surface to cut the notch out of in the thicker portion: Next, get the nibbler, and make a couple nibbles: Don't let the nibbler "bite" you! (The handles have a tendency to pinch.) Clean up the notch with an X-Acto: It should look about like this: And fit about like this: 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvnut Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Repost of #2115. Have you ever seen 20,000 screws? This is what 20,000 black #4 wood screws look like. I needed to order more screws to make LTO Flash (and my other cartridge orders) happen: This box was f'ing heavy, and they just wrapped 20,000 screws in... paper?? No worries. I had the heavy duty plastic bag the previous batch had come in, and a nice glass jar for that bag to sit in. This f'er weighs like 15 lbs. (I haven't actually weighed it.) Because that jar is so heavy, I keep a smaller dish of ready-to-use screws that I keep refilling: 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvnut Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Repost of #2116. Yield fallout! Not everything you build or ask to be built will work correctly. For example, the plastic shells like to curl outward sometimes: Earlier, I showed this board whose CPU wasn't soldered correctly: I ended up with a handful of boards that failed for various reasons. The eagle eyed will spot that one of those is a customer return, actually. ________________________________- Repost of #2117. Some other random photos... This guy had the master factory firmware for this build: This is what a ton of boxes and manuals look like, boxed up and ready to go to Michigan, where they'll get folded and glued and assembled. These shipped ahead of the boards and shells. A bunch of carts, waiting for their bottom half: Time to get a label! I couldn't do this without an electric screwdriver. I did my first 500 - 1000 carts with a screwdriver many moons ago—back in the Space Patrol era. I switched to electric and don't regret it. I bought this cute little guy when I moved to California, just for the original release of LTO Flash! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, they seem to have gone west, rather than east. The carts headed to @Steve Jones are currently in Chicago. (While I happen to be in California, the carts are actually all in Michigan.)

I have a regular one, but I have 3 INTVs that aren't always at the same location, so could really use a second, and would love for it to be a special if possible, but not gonna worry about that for now.

intvnut Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) I've added several people to the list, and have subtracted folks who've let me know they've already acquired units or will be acquiring them via one of the resellers. I'll check in again later, and post an updated list folks can cross-check against. Also, a reminder: This is for the Regular Edition. I do not have a waiting list for Special Edition, nor do I have a specific timeline for it. I don't recommend holding out for Special Edition if you need a Regular Edition now. Perhaps I can work out a trade-in program for folks who buy Special Edition later. Edited December 31, 2020 by intvnut 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
