I'll wait and see how things pan out.
I think the kit market is probably a lot more limited than the ready-built
market, but I like building things myself, so I can relate to people who
would enjoy putting a kit together. If it isn't too time consuming, I'll
keep the kits going.
I will need to differentiate between home and factory assembled units as far
as the second-hand buyer is concerned (not that I expect many people will
sell them ;) - I have no quality control over the way a kit is put together.
So I'll be applying different serial numbers to kit and ready-built CPUs
from now on. Ready-built units will have a serial number starting with an
odd digit, kits will be even.
The first ready-built production unit is serial number #1001. The numbers
will be written in the CPU flash, and will be displayed on power on. I have
plans to allow older CPUs to have a serial number entered, via secure codes
so there'll not be a dozen P3 number 1's turning up on eBay a few years down
the line ;-)

Cheers,
Colin f
