Subj:	Proto-Assy overload


Emmette is overloaded especially with Karen out (bad back). I expect
Karen back 1/16/92, but only at partial speed. I plan to get someone
over here from Mfg. on 1/16/92 to help out (I want Karen to be the
interface rather than bogging down Emmette with training someone).

Pat, please prioritize the task shown below for completion between now and
1/31/92 (the next 3 weeks). Let's give the (2) multi-sync IIa PCB's highest
priority since that is what Emmette is doing now.  Here is a list of work to 
do in Proto NOW:


GX2 for Moto, Space (Lee)
	- 1 board stuffed, need 16 pin sockets, then is will be wave-soldered
             on 1/13/92. (Mercieca is getting the sockets).
	-12 more PCB's in the box - HOW many more need to be stuffed by 1/31?
	    (2 for Moto, 2 for Space, xx for ??)

Multi-sync IIa (Margolin)
	- 2 boards being stuffed 1/13/92
	-23 more blanks PCB's in the box; Trainer is primary immediate need
		after the first 2 for Jed.

Warrior (Lee)
	- 15 completed PCB's in Proto - need resistor changes (about 5 per PCB).

Relief Pitcher (JMoore)
	- 3 Relief Piggyback stuffed
	- 3 more blank PCB's need to be stuffed by 1/31;
	- 3 more blank PCB's need to be stuffed by 2/15.

Space (Lee/Drobny)
	-Cables, connectors, wirewraps for the lab set-up.

P.S. Thank you to Cris Drobny for bringing to my attention.

As of 1/28/92, Emmette has delivered (11) stuffed Multi-sync PCB's to Applied
Research. He has 8 more to do. John Ray says that TRAINER needs one working
PCB and that will hold them for the next few weeks. Margolin says that he
needs one with the VRAM sockets (Erik just got the boards back from surface
mount vendor). So the plan for Emmette is:

	a) Start and complete a PCB with VRAM sockets (from Erik) by 2/3/92
	b) Set aside Partially finished board  - resume in a few weeks
	c) Set aside the 7 blank boards for a few weeks

By 2/3/92 we will have 12 completed Multi-sync II's (one w/VRAM sockets)
and 8 more to do. Proto-assy will resume stuffing Multi-sync II's the week
of 2/24. Alternatively, when Karen is back 100% and she can supervise an
assembler from Mfg. to assist in completing the PCB's, then we will start 
the PCB's sooner.

With only Emmette full-time in proto-assy, it's prudent to allocate the
resource more evenly. This will allow Emmette to complete several other tasks
pending in proto assy.
