Missing PCBs

(1 / 2)


We are missing about 10 Multisync II PCBs. They may be unstuffed,
they may have 8 surface mount parts on them, or they may be 
fully stuffed. If you know where these PCBs might be, please 
reply. 

Thank you.

MUlt-synce II PCB's

(2 / 2)


Karen is out sick today. She explained that many people have asked her
about Multi-sync II PCB's built in January 1992.

KAREN REPORTS THAT PROTO-ASSY HAS:
		(5) BLANK Multi-Sync II PCB's
	        (1) partially stuffed Multi-sync II

Apparently there were as many as 25 Blanks PCB's (see attached message).
Karen has not kept track of these 25 PCB's nor do I feel it is her 
responsibility to do so.

     I have created preliminary bills of material based on input from
  Jed and run a component availability check for 25 boards.  I can
  supply all parts to Karen EXCEPT the following:

     Jed and I have discussed the surface mount issue with Fine Pitch.
  They are aware that the VRAMs are small outline J leads, 40 pin, with
  50 mil centers, and are due to Atari Games @ Jan 2.  I told them I 
  would try to get the boards and VRAMs to them on Monday, Jan. 6. I 
  also told them that a 5 day turnaround would suffice, which means that
  if all goes well Karen would have the assembled surface mount boards
  on @ Jan. 10 (Friday) or Jan. 13 (Monday).  
     Please be aware of the shortages to Karen's kit for 25 boards as
  listed above.  I am changing all quantities per on the kit to reflect
  only the amount I have available in our stockroom, so that no shortages
  will be created on the production shortage report.  Obtaining the
  above parts for successful completion of said 25 boards is now in the
  hands of our engineering group (Unless, of course, I am directed to 
  do otherwise by Mr. Stewart and/or Mr. Smith).
    I should have this kit pulled by Thursday morning of this week.
  Is it Karen I should call when the kit is available?
    Please get back to me soon if there are any changes, questions or
  comments pertaining to this scenario.  Thank you.
