It’s probably just too much glop-top on the chip for the MIS carts.  Either
the engineer neglected to put a height limit on the drawing, or the mfg.
made an error.
It would be very surprising to me if Epson decreased the amount of chips per
wafer by making them bigger.  Who knows, we will have to be patient a little
longer.

Carl,

I purchased carts for my R200, but my understanding is these are the
same as for R1800, R800, C86, etc., and only the chips are different.

I asked MIS if they'd sell me the carts without a chip (for a lower
price of course) and they don't have any that way.  Apparently they
order them already chipped.

I've wondered if the poor-fit problem is the cause of the delay.
Perhaps the 2400 chip circuitry requires a bigger bump on the bottom
and the cart's chip well simply isn't deep enough.  If that's the
case, then it will require a redesign of the chip or the cart.
Someone said that We-Ink also doesn't have a chip yet.  Just
speculation, but there has to be a reason for the delay...

Clayton
