PM me or reply here. Hi Dan. I don't, but I do remember reading a post in comp.sys.atari.st from him just a couple of days ago. I can't remember the exact wording but it was to the effect that he had the needed parts in, was assembling, and would be shipping out right after that. HTHs.

danwinslow Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well, he's gotten the replacement order, but apparantly that was also wrong. So we get to wait some more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know just how frustrating that is! I'm still waiting for Natures' SuperNAT to be released. Don't know what the holdup is there either. Last notice I seen said it would be done in a few weeks.Thats been some time ago. Oh well, good things come to those who wait and all that, eh?

+DarkLord Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Well, I hope so. At least Rodolphe writes back. Henrik hasn't replied. Yes, Rodolphe is pretty good about getting back in touch with you. I always love! his! replies! as! well! Well, as far as Henrik goes, I just found this on their website: "Yesterday I received 130 EtherNat boards in a big box! You can see a very lousy picture of a few of the boards here (I had only my webcam available for taking the picture). You probably notice that the boards lack the connectors for connecting to the CT60. That's correct. We'll solder those connectors to the boards as we program and test them before sending them off to you. I inspected a few of the boards yesterday and noticed that a few had pins soldered together on the USB chip. This is something that the mounting company will pay for... Unfortunately this will delay those boards that suffer from this problem. But not by very much I think. I tried one of the boards too. Surfing the net worked fine and also flood-pinging. I didn't have time to test the USB too, since I'm moving to a new apartment tomorrow, but that shouldn't be a problem either. Since I'm moving this weekend, the process of soldering/programming/testing/sending the boards to you won't begin until next week." This was posted March 2nd, 2006. The picture does show multiple boards. There's hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danwinslow Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 FYI - got a reply back from one of the Nature crew stating that they are doing the board builds 'in their free time' and that as a result it is going slowly. No word on an ETA for shipment. Henrik is apparantly without Net connection as of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word on an ETA for shipment. Henrik is apparantly without Net connection as of right now. Well, thats good news that they are, at least, being built. Also explains why Henrik didn't return your e-mails. Lets hope they get them out soon. Like everyone else I pre-paid and am really looking forward to having USB and real ethernet support for my Falcon! Thanks for the heads-up, Dan.

born-again Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yes, I saw that a month and a half ago. Nothing since then, and no replies to emails. The following email thread started March 22nd. Henrik replied on the 23rd. fyi.. Dave Hi David! >I've gone through a sort or Atari "re-awakening" of >late and have decided to put new life into my old >Falcon. I just bought a CT63 last week and anxiously >await its arrival. I'm very interested in your Vidal >project, which I read about through a link on the CT >page. Is this card available? If so, could you >provide a price and payment instructions so I could >buy one? If not, please add me to the waiting list.. > Great that some people return to the Atari scene also! Welcome back! The SuperVidel has developed somewhat since we started the project 3 or 4 years ago (wow, time just flies by...). It has been on ice for several months because we did the EtherNat project in between, but now we're working on the SV again. The EtherNat is a 100Mbit ethernet + USB 1.1 board for CT60-equipped falcons and we're currently in the process of programming and testing the boards now for sending off to the buyers.. If you're interested in such a board please read the instructions on how to prepay for it on our homepage: nature.atari.org Read news entry from September 26th 2005, where you will find what you need to know to do the payment. But please note that you should add 6% and not 4% on the PayPal price. PayPal has hidden fees everywhere... Regarding the SuperVidel again the layout was very nearly finished when we realized yesterday that we couldn't use the PQ208-package for the onboard FPGA, which we had designed for, due to high frequency electronical reasons. Instead I have to remove the PQ208 FPGA and put a FT256 FPGA on the board instead. But after that we'll be ready to order the protype PCBs. So the superVidel is a while off into the future, especially because the EtherNat has to be sent off to all the buyers. >One thing, kind of off the subject: I also have a >TT030 thats been collecting dust for years. It, like >the Falcon, was -is- a wonderful machine. Is anyone >out there that you know of doing any development at >all for the TT? I've always thought the TT would be >"Atari Zen" with a 68060 and better graphics.. Just >IMHO Some demos and other releases support the TT, it's not a forgotten machine. Perhaps you've already done this, but take a look at www.dhs.nu (especially ct60.dhs.nu), www.atari.org, www.atari-users.net for some locations to read news on what's happening in the atari world.

jens Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I've always thought the TT would be "Atari Zen" with a 68060 and better graphics.. I'd love to see a 'CTT60' or whatever as well. Expecially on the older daughterboard TT's this should be relatively easy to do. Put the daughterboard out, drop another 060 equipped one in - ready for take off...

danwinslow Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Heard from Rodolphe, the latest shipment of procs he got were good, and he is sending at least some of the paquets out. Still no recent word on Ethernat from Henrik, and it's making me feel a bit unhappy. Anyone heard anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you're lucky to have 2, and I'm envious, as I'm sure many are but I'd never give you grief over it or try to pressure you into selling one. I say enjoy the heck out of them.

lotsofpot Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'm sure you were joking, but I already received some mails about those two jewels trying me to sell them. Mind if I ask how you came to be in posession of these two machines? Just curious... Wondering if there is an interesting story to tell about how you got them? You know, something like where a guy buys an old picture at a garage sale for $1 just to get the frame and maybe the glass and when he gets home and takes it apart he discovers a hidden painting behind the matting which turns out to be an original Van Gogh....
