MOTM

a) The MOTM-650 HW checkout is 99% complete. I am waiting for a cable to be made 
and the 1-off front panel to arrive to test feeding Ext Clk into the 
arpeggiators (which is 1% HW and 99% SW, really).

By the end of Oct I'll have selected a local SMT house to run the 100 production 
boards. If you have not yet ordered, now is a good time. Shipping will be at the 
end of Nov/1st week of Dec. This is the last 'new' module to ship this year. The 
'730, '600 and '810 will all be early next year. I have to spend all on my 
remaining time on shipping what is on order up until Nov. 15th.

b) Remember: Nov. 15th is a 'special day' for 2 reasons:

1) last day to cash in points
2) last day to order kits for delivery in 2005. If you need a Christmas present, 
the order needs to be in by *this day*.
3) Dec.15th is the last day of business until Jan. 15th. I play video games :) 
Looking forward to Age of Empires III, finishing latest Splinter Cell and 
Dungeon Siege II.

c) I made up some '310 kits today, will finish the '900 and '950 kits tomorrow 
and ship this week.

d) Hope to see some of you at the Oakland meeting next Sunday. Charles Stella 
and I will have a demo system set up with about 20 modules, the VC Pulse Divider 
and the MIDI-CV. Will give away a couple of hats and a shirt, maybe a couple of 
the new Robert Rich CDs.
