"To keep the target price(of the a149-2) on our web
site of 40 Euro we have to start with 100 modules. For
this we need about 30~40 pre-orders as we are
optimistically that we will sell the remaining 60~70
modules within the next few months. The absolute
minimum production lot would be 50 but this would
increase the price for the module to about 50 Euro as
the initial charges for the pc boards and the front
panels are the same and the assembly price is a bit
higher for 50 pcs only. In this case about 15~20
pre-orders are necessary but I think this should be no
problem. So it is safe to assume the module will come
but the price may by a bit higher if we receive less
than ~ 25 pre-orders.
 
Regarding the new PSU: +5V will not be available. For
this we have a separate +5V supply or the 5V low cost
adapter available.
 
Regarding A-100 oscilloscope: I'm sorry but we will
not offer an oscilloscope as A-100 module (much too
expensive, dangerous voltages, not sufficient know-how
in this field ...). Low cost oscilloscopes are
available down to ~100 Euro (like the oscilloscope in
our A-100 demo setup for fairs, work-shops and so on
that fits perfect into the A-100 frame) and I see no
necessitiy to offer such a module. Sorry. If customers
find a suitable oscilloscope on the market we could
ask our manufacturer to produce a front panels with a
hole that fits to the oscilloscope front - provided
that there are sufficent orders (remember: the initial
charges).
