Folks
What is the part number of the PPC chip on the ROACH boards and where do we buy them? Seems better to buy now, and save rather than estimate our future purchases.

What sort of errors are they reporting and how are you clearing them?

Thank you. The PowerPC (PPC) embedded processor chip, used on both the ROACH1 and ROACH2 boards, is being discontinued. We need to do a "lifetime purchase" soon. Digicom has generously offered to purchase a batch of these chips in anticipation of future orders of ROACH1 and ROACH2 boards. The safest thing to do to ensure you'll have PPC chips available for the roach boards you might need, is to purchase these chips yourself and keep them in your stock or at Digicom (with your name on them) for potential future builds. The PPC chips cost about $50 each. If you are planning large projects we would recommend you buy the chips yourself as Digicom can not be expected to take the risk on large orders. Recommended part numbers will be sent in a separate email. Or you can hope that Digicom will have them in stock or that you and Digicom will be able to purchase them when you need the chips. So that digicom can estimate the number of PPC chips needed, can you please fill out the survey at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZG7T98F Please fill out a survey form for each of your potential upcoming projects. (you can click on the link above multiple times). This survey requests name of your project(s), the probability that the project will happen, and the years you might need the boards, and whether you plan to the purchase PPC chips yourself and set them aside for your projects. Please respond within the next week. Thanks for responding to this survey. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment scrubbed and removed.
