3420.0. "A1000 MID-LIFE KICKER?????" by POLAR::GOSLING () Thu Feb 01 1990 17:42

       Anyone heard what is happening on either the Australian
       motherboard front, or the U.S. rejuvinator front?  Given all the
       hype and the promises of products for the Christmas - early 1990
       timeframe, I would have thought there would be some news -
       positive or negative!  The former hopefully.
       
       Thanks

3420.1	Usenet news..	PUERTO::ALVAREZ	So much work to do...so little time	`Thu Feb 01 1990 18:50`	12
	I read a usenet article today where one person claims to have talked with the designer of the rejuvenator (Gregg Tibbs ?) and that the pcb layout will be finished this weekend, with hopefully having prototypes to sell in three-four weeks , I believe. Cost was unknown, pending promises that Commodore would sell some chips they needed, but so far, haven't been able to obtain a firm commitment from CBM. That was my understanding after reading the note. Miguel A. Alvarez
3420.2	Phoenix lives !	AMIGA2::MCGHIE	Thank Heaven for small Murphys !	`Fri Feb 02 1990 04:19`	19
	Hi Guys, Sorry about not updating the project without the prompt, but ... yes the Phoenix project is well under way. Apparently the had hundreds of responses so they are busily setting up a new company getting proper CAD equipment etc. I got a newsletter in the Mail a few weeks ago. However things have been rather busy for me over the last few months (work mainly and a new baby at home - yes another Amiga user!). Anybody out there respond to the original request for deposits etc ? I can only assume that people are interested in updates as I receive them. I seem to be on the mailing list at the moment. Regards Mike
3420.3	Rejuvenator update	KALI::PLOUFF	Anarchists of the world, unite!	`Sun Feb 04 1990 04:43`	40
	From Usenet.. Article 48299 From: ggibeau@ucqais.uc.edu (AMOEBOID) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Rejuvinator Update January 31, 1990 Date: 1 Feb 90 04:47:30 GMT Organization: U.C. Dept. of Biology Lines: 30 Talked to Greg Tibbs at our user group meeting last night (where I was asleep enough to accept the nomination for president in next months election :-)), and here is the latest on the Rejuvinator project. The final 4-layer design will be done by this weekend. Starting next week, we are going to have an initial batch of 25 boards made up (he is that confident in his design that he is not even going to proto it again ;-)). Then we will enter beta-testing (if we can find anyone to test it (GRIN GRIN)). We still plan on being at AmiExpo D.C. and hope to have full production models to sell. Price is still uncertain as we cannot get an answer from Commodore as to the price of the needed chips that they offered to sell to Greg a month or so ago (they NEVER return phone calls :-( ). So, that is about the latest. Look for mailings to start sometime next week.

3420.4	More news..from Usenet	PUERTO::ALVAREZ	So much work to do...so little time	`Tue Feb 06 1990 10:51`	43
	Article 48594 Path: shlump.nac.dec.com!decwrl!ucbvax!tut.cis.ohio-state.edu!uccba!ucqais!ggibeau From: ggibeau@ucqais.uc.edu (AMOEBOID) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Rejuvinator UPDATE - somewhat COMMERCIAL I guess? Keywords: be prepared for AmiExpo D.C. :-) Message-ID: <2291@ucqais.uc.edu> Date: 6 Feb 90 04:19:26 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: U.C. Dept. of Biology Lines: 30 Spent about 9 hours with Greg Tibbs Saturday night, and have some info to pass on. We will tentatively be at AmiExpo in Washington D.C. (March 16-18) and will have board available at the show. We should have a booth under the name of Expert Services. The board will be sold as 2 models. 1) A fully populated board (1 meg ram, 1-meg agnus chip, etc..) everything but a new Paula and Denise chip for $499.95 (hey, the psychological under an even number trick :-)). and 2) a semi-populated board (no RAM nor Agnus chip) for $350. We should have about 25-50 completed boards and about 50-100 kits (that can very quickly be converted :-)). Stay tuned for more details...
