Multisync II

(1 / 6)


    Hi Jed.  Mr. Moncrief mentioned that you and he might want some
  Multisync II PCB's stuffed and waved over the shutdown (production)
  period.  If you have some sort of parts list for this board, I could
  pull a kit for them this week before we go.  Rick mentioned probably
  @ 25 boards.  What do you think?

Proto build of Multisync II PCB's

(2 / 6)


     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:

       p/n               Description            Qty short
     118010-103        Sip resistor                50

     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.

Multisync kit....

(3 / 6)


     The kit is all pulled.  I can either hold it in the stockroom or
  give it to one of you this week.  If you don't get it this week, I
  won't be back to see you till Jan. 6 (Monday).  If it can wait till
  then that's OK too.  Let me know.  Thanks.
     And thanks, Jed, for the paste master.  Joe just gave it to me
  and I will send it to Fine Pitch with the boards when they come in.

Don't give Downend the parts.

    I guess I won't give Downend the parts......

PC Boards

Please ask the PCB Vendor to deliver the MultiSync II boards to 675.

If they deliver them to Receiving I won't get them for at least a week.
