Rev C on sale now at Digi-Key

that appears to be correct, they look like they're currently out of
stock. good thing i got my order in yesterday. :slight_smile:

rday

I just received my order from d/k placed 3/25. It seems that they
stuck a Rev C sticker on a box clearly marked B7 and sent it to me.
They are trying to fix the situation, but they are out of stock.

You have got to be kidding! Was the Board a Rev B7?

What was in the box?

my (alleged) C2 is, according to UPS, "out for delivery", which
means it should arrive here a bit later today. as soon as it gets
here, i'll let you know what's in the box. the invoice for that order
clearly reads "REV C".

The board was a B7, clearly labeled, inside and out. My invoice
clearly says Rev C. Digikey agrees, but have not called me back yet
with more info. I'm waiting, and it is a Friday. I really wanted to
check it out this weekend.

There were about 10 rev B7 boards left and we had them pull them so they would start shipping Rev C2. Sounds like their stock room screwed up and grabbed the wrong box.

Gerald

i'm in the same position. if they shipped the wrong rev, i'm going
to be more than a little pissed.

rday

I would be as well.

Gerald

hilariously, i just phoned digikey in minnesota to see if they could
verify the rev that was shipped and, just as the customer rep came on
the line, UPS showed up at my door. i did, in fact, get a C2 rev.

Well, I hope my board is a Rev C. I placed the order on 3/25. The
problem is I live in Brazil and the Beagle has already been shipped on
3/26 by International Express Mail (UPS shipping was $100 :O). It's
not simple to have these parts returned from here. I was already
worried about revision mismatch and now I will have to wait 5-10 days
in agony until I have the answer... :frowning:

Both USB EHCI and LCD raw output are important to me.

Well, I just spoke again with customer service at D/K. They were
going to send me a new board overnight (meaning Monday), but called to
say that the warehouse people have determined that there are no more
in stock, and will not be until June 21 (? I think). I'm not sure
that I believe the details, but the fact seems to be that there are no
more on hand.

Customer support seemed to indicate that some other people may have
the wrong board coming as well. I am disappointed but not 'pissed'.
I have done business with D/K for a long time and this is not the
first time things have gone wrong, but I don't know of anyone who does
any better. They are always helpful and work hard to straighten
things out. I am just thankful that it it not me that has to keep
those millions of parts in the right bins. That is definitely not my
strength.

But if you are expecting one of the first run of Rev C boards, look
it over carefully when it arrives.

Sorry, but June 21st is not correct. 200 went out today and another 200 next Tuesday.

Gerald

I'm glad to hear that. It is what I suspected. I don't know where
they got that date. It kind of sounded like the warehouse people were
feeding the poor customer service woman a line...

Blame it on the computers!

Gerald

The case is not compatible with REV C. The DVI-D connector moved on the Rev C board.

Gerald

If you visit the site, they now have both Rev B and Rev C cases for sale.
