Yep , they have photos of them been in the UK warehouse which is great leap forward. I don't know how much more if any of the EMC testing they need to complete. Any way it sort of gives me my unit in maybe 2 weeks ish ????????
Re casing, I don't see a standard plastic case doing much with regards to EMC. Obviously with the conductive paint sprayed on the inside this is a different question. My Panda board got it's FCC badge so I don't see the lack of case to be a fundamental problem. Also sub assemblies get sold like this all the time, lets see!!!

Owing to the large number in production. -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
